Born To Rock...

Woo-hoo! I've been waiting for today!

July 22nd, 1973 - God (aka Rufus McGarrigle Wainwright) was born...

This is torture, though, because now I've got to decide which song of his I'm going to post (and it's got to be one I've not done before)... So we'll go for... "Cigarettes And Chocolate Milk"...

And a few links you can go off and check out if that's whetted your appetite...

The Maker Makes (from "Brokeback Mountain" - I love this song... just so beautiful...
Dinner At Eight (live on "Letterman")
Crumb By Crumb (live on "The Paul O'Grady Show")
Gay Messiah (live and acoustic on some US programme... I love this song, but must admit there is a lyric in it that makes me wince a bit... you'll know it when you hear it...)

I'll leave it there at the moment, although I could go on posting his videos for hours...
