Jude, great despription of your experience, thank you so much!
I have posted this before, but I first heard of Rufus Wainwright when he was a baby. He comes from a super-talented family - his father is Loudon Wainwright III and his mother is Kate MacGarrigle, both successful and wonderful singer-songwriters. When I was a teenager, I had an album by his father that I loved. One of the songs on it is called "Rufus is a Tit Man," which actually was very sweet and funny about how focused that tiny baby was on breastfeeding. Funny to be immortalized that way at such a young age, and then turn out not to be one... :)
I would say that Rufus has now surpassed both his parents in fame, but his grandfather, Loudon Wainwright Jr., in his day, was extremely well-known and respected as a war correspondent for Life magazine during WWII.
Thanks again, Jude, for letting us share the concert with you!

I'm a big Rufus fan too, and own all of his albums (everything he's released is available at the iTunes Music Store: fyi).
I also have a documentary about him called "All I Want." Includes lots of interviews with Rufus and his family, backup musicians, and producers. Also contatins several music videos, and footage of him singing by himself as he introduces a new song to his producer for the first time.
It's a great DVD for Rufus-ites!

I read in the newpaper that Rufus was the best concert of the day. Really pleased for you Jude. The article also mentioned his Brokeback Mountain commentary 'he wanted to slip some homosexuality into country music, where it belonged' :D
We went on sunday to see David Gray, it was fantastic!

RUFUS ROCKS!!!!! I've known about him since my bro bought me his first album for x-mas in 1999 or so. He's so much funnier on stage than his lyrics would lead one to think. You're a lucky woman, Jude. I've been lucky 3 times too (seeing him live that is!)
