Rufus Wainwright

[Benji]

Last week I saw Rufus Wainwright on The Frank Skinner Show (UK) and I watched this interview with an entertainer of which I have not seen in a long while. This guy was friendly, but kept his mystery, funny but slightly sad, his name was Rufus Wainwright and apparently he comes from a very musical family.

Now I'm not much of a musical historian but it seems it had a positive effect because I found myself singing the song he performed the next day as I walked to college (The song was "What a World". I bought his latest album and I have to say, I really do love it, he seems to be one of the romantics, someone like John Keats (poet for those of you not knowing) who has a talent for just making a good song.

Not sure really why I'm making this thread, maybe it's to get others interested, maybe it's to get opinions, I don't quite know, I just felt I should post it.

He is gay.

You know, in case it bothered you.

All I know of Rufus Wainwright is that he did the version of Hallelujah that appeared on Shrek in which I'm sure he says "the holy duck" instead of "dove".

I've only heard one song he did; a cover of "Across the Universe." I remember not liking it at all.

Well he's white and called Rufus...kinda logical I think.
