Rufus Wainwright's new single "Going to a Town"

[Pale Blue Dot]

This guy really should be more popular than he is, and "Going to a Town" is a perfect example of why. Check it out here:

I'm going to a town that has already been burned down
I'm going to a place that is already been disgraced
I'm gonna see some folks who have already been let down.
I'm so tired of America

I'm gonna make it up for all of the Sunday Times
I'm gonna make it up for all of the nursery rhymes
They never really seem to want to tell the truth
I'm so tired of you America

Making my own way home
Ain't gonna be alone
I got a life to lead America
I got a life to lead

(Tell me)
Do you really think you go to hell for having loved?
(Tell me)
And not for thinking every thing that you've done is good
(I really need to know)
After soaking the body of Jesus Christ in blood
I'm so tired of America
(I really need to know)

I may just never see you again or might as well
You took advantage of a world that loved you well
I'm going to a town that has already been burned down
I'm so tired of you America

Making my own way home
Ain't gonna be alone
I got a life to lead America
I got a life to lead
I got a soul to feed
I got a dream to heed
And that's all I need

Making my own way home
Ain't gonna be alone
I'm going to a town that has already been burned down

2. Ah, I love him to death

I met him once very briefly, and have seen him in concert twice. He's really magnficent.

I would've killed to see his re-creation of Judy Garland's concert at Carnegie Hall he did last year.

In the past few months I've bought three of his cd's and I really can't get enough. He's a genius.

6. The most beautiful voice on the planet. I am forever, hopelessly in love with Rufus.

New album means new concert tour. I can't wait to see him again.

7. I loved his first two albums.

Want One I wasn't too crazy about but I'll definitely buy the new one.

I still crank Tower of Learning when I'm driving on a sunny day. Gorgeous. That song just gets to me.
