the world to come

Where ya been, Zebulon?

All I need are your eyes.

Your nose was always too big for your face.

Still, it made you look kinda sexy-

More like someone who belongs in the human race.

Ok, So Rufus’s new album.

is really great. I like most of it a lot. Catchy, but surprising. Pretty much what we expect from usual Rufus.  

But his last album had such a huge, and deep impact on me that I don’t think I was quite ready for this new one yet. I may have to put it back on the shelf for a while. But really, I still tear up when I listen to Zebulon.

And just to cement in my mind that he shouldn’t have written an opera, he plays a new song of his new album and it’s gorgeous and perfect.

Ok. I love Rufus Wainwright with all my heart.

But I am not impressed with Prima Donna at all. It is for the best that they didn’t go through with it at the Met, because it would not have gone over well. His style, while poperatic, just cannot hold over 2+ hours of music, and you can tell he does not know how to handle the orchestra. Ok. I’m done. I love you, Rufus. Keep making albums forever.
