This post title is a pun on the Loudon Wainwright song "Rufus is a Tit Man" which the famous folk singer wrote about his son long before that same son became the 'gay messiah' of folk rock. I stood in the rain for hours Sunday night for another great Rufus show. I'm still wet.Raving about Rufus Wainwright @ the film experience is more movie appropriate than it seems at first due to his neverending love for & tributes to the world's greatest entertainer Judy Garland. He's a man after my own heart. Rufus has revealed himself to be quite the actressexual these past few years, hasn't he?
Nevertheless for those who don't quite get the Rufus thing, my apologies. But also, um, your loss. More Rufus concert lovin' @ Zoom In...

I love Rufus. His rendition of Hallelujah is my favourite.
Speaking of Judy Garland, there is an exciting new group on Yahoo called The Judy Garland Experience. The group has the largest and most diverse membership of all the Garland groups and fan clubs, and we are always having lively discussions on a variety of topics. We also have amazing photo albums filled with never before seen photo's of Judy.
The group's audio files are the rarest on the Web and are constantly changing, but if you check in right now you can hear Judy's complete performance on The Merv Griffin Show where she sings, dances, trades quips with Totie Fields, and more. We are also featuring a never released Judy concert that was recorded in Canada in 1965, an ultra rare performance featuring Judy and Helen Forrest on The Dick Haymes Show, and dozens of other aural odds and ends that will have Garland aficianado's drooling. We even have an unreleased concert from Al Green. Why are we featuring an unreleased Al Green concert you ask, you will just have to visit The Judy Garland Experience to find out! But be forwarned, once you visit our little Judyville you may never want to leave.

I was at this concert on Sunday but I had to leave early because I couldn't take the rain any longer (I had just gotten over a bad bad cold.) I thought Rufus sounded great though. I hope to see him inside under less wet conditions.
Love love him.
Plus, he's great in Heights.
Not a fan of his music as much, a bit wishy washy for my tastes, but I do adore "My Phone's On Vibrate For You".
'The Art Teacher' gets me every time.
I'm going to see him in October. Yippie!
What I'd really love, like dearly love to see would be a whole Wainwright/McGarrigle clan concert gala thing. Get everyone, Rufus % Martha, Loudon Wainwright, Kate & Anna McGarrigle and anyone else they'd care to party with. Yessum.
well i'm sure you meant that more extravagantly than this but trust me when i tell you that every time i've seen him he has a family member do a guest spot. Martha gets a lot of stage time (though this past weekend it was Lucy crooning with him)
