I wanted to move to New Orleans for such a long time, but somehow I ended up in Barcelona instead, but for every person who is on the road now with the provisions in bags, their children homeless, their pets abandoned, I can only offer my deep and heartfelt sorrow.

And spent a few days in New Orleans a long time ago. Two cities with soul and roots, not just for me, but for all of us, who've settled here, listening to the music and the vibe of two places, walking away from the splash and into the coolness of ordinary life. Thanks for bringing it all home. I lived in Brooklyn as a kid. And spent a few days in New Orleans a long time ago.

Everything he owns is underwater but he's unhurt. Makes you wonder though... crazy times behind all our levees.

Makes you wonder though… crazy times behind all our levees.
