The Ellen Degeneres New Orleans Tribute Show was today, the 1-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Ellen is from New Orleans. So am I. Her show is usually funny. Today’s show included a serious tour of devastated neighborhoods, including the one where I grew up.
One scene included a tour of a house which hasn’t been cleaned out yet. A family’s moldy possessions are still scattered across each room. The scene ended with a tearful Ellen removing her microphone and walking out of the scene.
Her tears were real. So were mine. I couldn’t watch any more.
