"I came from Newcastle in the north of England, we used to have alots of parties where everyone got dressed up. And on one party invitation was the quote 'She was never bored because she was never boring.' The song is about growing up - the ideals that you have when you're young and how they turn out."

American-born, Canadian-bred Rufus Wainwright, was described by Elton John as “the greatest songwriter on the planet”.
Son of singers and musicians, Rufus lived most of the childhood with his mother in Montreal, Canada.
Rufus has the ability to blend dreams and deep feelings, in a way that few contemporary artists can do. The poems express Rufus homosexuality, both directly and poetically. The music is deep and graceful. But most of all his voice is like a caress, with the power to mild your heart!
He has released six albums and two DVDs so far. Currently is composing a musical adaptation of Shakespearean Sonnets and writing an opera called “Prima Donna”.
Meet Rufus Wainwright this month on your GAY-CULTURE.
