Ha pasado unos últimos años intensísimos, en los que vivió tanto el fallecimiento de su madre, la también cantautora Kate McGarrigle como el nacimiento de su hija Viva (gestada con su amiga Lorca Cohen, a su vez hija de Leonard) y su alianza sentimental con el administrador alemán de arte Jörn Weisbrodt. Rufus, desacomplejado icono social en su defensa de las libertades civiles, también ha oficiado como actor e incluso ha compuesto música para una obra teatral de Robert Wilson basada en los sonetos de Shakespeare.

    1 OPEN NINTH: CONVERSATIONS BEYOND THE COURTROOM STUCK IN THE '80s WITH DJ RUFUS EPISODE 5 SEPTEMBER 19, 2016 HOSTED BY: FREDERICK J. LAUTEN 2 (Music.) >> Welcome to Episode 5 of "Open Ninth: Conversations Beyond the Courtroom" in the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida. Now here's your host, Chief Judge Frederick J. Lauten. >> JUDGE LAUTEN: This morning I'm with Ninth Circuit Judge Bob LeBlanc, and we're in the radio studio of WPRK, The Voice of Rollins College at 91.5 on the FM dial, which is commonly referred to as "The Best in Basement Radio." As a Rollins graduate, I happen to know that WPRK is a nonprofit, independent-variety format radio station that's been broadcasting since 1952. So we're here in the basement of the radio station. It just so happens that one of the Ninth Circuit judges, Judge Bob LeBlanc, is a DJ for the station and hosts "Stuck in the 80s with DJ Rufus." Good morning, Bob. >> JUDGE LeBLANC: Good morning. >> JUDGE LAUTEN: This is an interesting job. It's an interesting time of day. How did it happen that you got this position? Did you have to audition? Tell us how you landed here. >> JUDGE LeBLANC: Well, of course I'm a music lover and have been my whole life. I've been listening to WPRK since I first came to Orlando in the early '80s. When I first 3 thought about being a DJ, one of the first things I thought about was whether or not it would offend the sensibilities of someone who thought what a judge should or should not do.

  • Wainwright, Rufus (B
    Wainwright, Rufus (b. 1973) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Rufus Wainwright. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Courtesy Dreamworks Records. Singer and songwriter Rufus Wainwright has built a successful career with witty lyrics and rich melodies that have earned him comparisons to Cole Porter and George Gershwin. Wainwright cites Al Jolson, Edith Piaf, and Nina Simone as artists who were among his early inspirations. Both music critics and Wainwright's loyal fans appreciate the structural complexity and lush orchestrations of his works. Described by Advocate reviewer Anderson Jones as "the thinking gay man's sex symbol," Wainwright composes and performs songs marked by intelligence, humor, and pathos. In his rendition, his songs are at once achingly plaintive and hip, their frank romanticism only barely mediated by a light dose of irony. Wainwright comes from a distinctly musical family. His father is American folk-singer and humorist Loudon Wainwright III, and his mother is Canadian folk-singer and songwriter Kate McGarrigle. Born July 22, 1973 in Rhinebeck, New York, Rufus Wainwright grew up in Montreal, where his mother made her home after his parents separated when he was three and subsequently divorced. Music has always been at the center of Wainwright's life. He began learning to play the piano at six and by his early teens was performing on tour with his mother, his aunt Anna McGarrigle, and his sister Martha Wainwright as the McGarrigle Sisters and Family. Wainwright wrote his first song, "I'm A-Runnin'," for the children's film Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller (1988, directed by Michael Rubbo), for which his mother and aunt had been engaged to provide the music.

  • Rufus Wainwright Arriva a Sanremo
    MARTEDì 18 FEBBRAIO 2014 Rufus Wainwright è appena arrivato a Sanremo, ma le polemiche impazzano gia' da giorni. Il cantautore, gay dichiarato sposato con il compagno Joern Weisbrodt, con il quale cresce la figlia Viva, è nel mirino Rufus Wainwright arriva a di alcune associazioni cattoliche che lo accusano di blasfemia per la Sanremo canzone Gay Messiah. "Sono molto sorpreso dalle reazioni che ha suscitato l'annuncio della mia presenza al Festival, penso che alcune La polemica impazza cose dette su di me vadano rettificate", spiega Rufus, canadese ma statunitense di nascita, affidando a un comunicato la sua amarezza per la bagarre suscitata e difendendo il suo brano, che comunque non portera' sul palco dell'Ariston. "Gay Messiah non e' 'blasfema', in quanto CARMEN GUADALAXARA E CRISTIAN non e' un ritratto di Gesu' o di altre figure religiose, ma la metafora di un PEDRAZZINI mondo in cui le persone omosessuali godono degli stessi diritti degli eterosessuali. E a giudicare dalle reazioni, l'Italia e' ancora molto lontana da questo. Purtroppo la crocifissione era un metodo molto comune di uccisione 2 mila anni fa". Secondo l'artista, che si esibira' domani sera con i brani Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk e Across The Universe, e' "triste che molti membri della Chiesa Cattolica non seguano il percorso [email protected] indicato da papa Francesco per il rispetto e l'accettazione di donne, gay SPETTACOLINEWS.IT e altre minoranze", ma allo stesso tempo assicura di non aver voluto ferire alcun sentimento religioso. "E' un inno per la comunita' gay e sono stato invitato a cantarla, assieme ad altre canzoni, anche al ballo della Human Right Campaign dopo il primo insediamento del Presidente Obama, a Washington".
