I absolutely loved Rufus Wainwright's CD, Poses and his track on Moulin Rouge. I recently went cold on him though after a Sunday NYT article about him. Apparently Rufus had gone through a bad phase of drug use. He was quoted in the article as coming to his senses after what he described as "one of those really gay weekends where you take party drugs and want to have sex with children". The quote was something close to that and pissed me off enough to write a letter to the editor. Rufus should have known better than to play right into the stereotypes. Sorry, I was too lazy to search the web for the actual quote and I am sure Rufus has apologized hundreds of times since.
