I have a new theory that Rufus Wainwright is actually Leonard Cohen reincarnated (er, despite the fact that Lennie isn't dead). They're both Canadian, sexy, awesome lyricists, but most importantly, they both started out with a pretty simple sound and got increasingly more florid and multi-instrumental and chorus-ified. In a good way.

See? YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT.

(I wanted to make this observation two weeks ago, when we got our advance copies of the album, but I thought I should wait until today when other people could tell me how right I am. Also, Rufus just sang "I remember you well" and I am EVEN MORE convinced that I have solved the secrets of the universe here.)

To be perfectly honest, I don't exactly know who Rufus Wainwright is (in particular, I thought he was about 60). I'm commenting on this post because my day seems to be revolving around this guy. I showed up at work this morning to find a puzzle on my desk which, when solved, revealed the following Wainwright quote:

"I've developed into quite a swan. I'm one of those people that will probably look better and better as I get older - until I drop dead of beauty."

Ummm, OK.

Maybe you were thinking of his dad, Loudon Wainwright. He's probably about 60. :D
