Lawrence says he never wanted to work for his dad. "I thought I wouldn't learn anything because people would either handle me with kid's gloves or not let me learn," he says...
...Jarreau is guilty of a degree of aloofness himself. He enjoys either silence or classical-music stations. He grumbles about the "flavor-of-the-month mentality" among music fans. And he shows his age - endearingly - by refusing to own an iPod. His strange argument, contradicted every time he draws up a set list comprising songs from different phases of his career, is that you must listen to songs in the context of the album they appear on.

"It's really incredible; a slight variation of the track either way could have meant six more feet of storm surge," says Louisiana State University coastal scientist Robert Twilley, who studied Gustav's track. "I hope nobody gets a false sense of security." The barrier islands that once protected New Orleans have eroded, and most of the city's nearby marshes are gone...
