Harry recognizes 2001 as the real millennium too!! CO-Greg says: with y2k around the corner, who do you rate as some of the greats (music-wise) of the last century? Harry_Connick_Jr: Greg, I think we have to wait until Jan.1 of next year to compile the greats of this century, since we still have a year to go! |

I love this anecdote... Anybody know more about this? CO-Nicky says: does Harry remember spotted dick? Harry_Connick_Jr: I remember it well, and it's become one of the funniest memories I have. Spotted dick is a sort of British dessert and when I first saw it on the menu in England, I thought I had mistakenly walked into a different type of house... or a clinic! I absolutely ordered it! And spotted dick has become a big part of my life. | |
My favorite quote: Harry, what do think about the fact that you're considered a sex symbol? I wish it were like that in High School. | |
