Rufus!
Last night I was at a Rufus Wainwright concert. It was great. The opening acts were quite good (Shannon McNally & Teitur). Rufus played for about two hours, and performed a number of my favourites, including Oh, What A World and Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk. He was chatting with the crowd, and making funny remarks, including a few random insults to Tori Amos. He also played some new songs, The Art Teacher and Gay Messiah.


Gay Messiah
He will then be reborn from 1970's porn
Wearing tube socks with style and such an innocent smile
Better pray for your sins, better pray for your sins
'Cause the gay messiah's coming

He will fall from the stars, studio 54
And appear on the sand of fire island shore

Better pray for your sins, better pray for your sins
'Cause the gay messiahs coming

No, it will not be me
Rufus the baptist, I be
No, I won't be the one baptised in cum
What will happen instead, someone will demand my head
And then I will kneel down
And give it to them looking down

Better pray for your sins, better pray for your sins
'Cause the gay messiah's coming

After the concert, I (and a few other fans) waited around the stage doors to try and meet Rufus. He was nice enough to give me an autograph, and I had my picture taken with him. He is a really great guy.
