That gorgeous and classic piece of musical social commentary probably wouldn't have gone over well at the ballpark.
From which of his two nationalities, though? (Yes, he changed some words to the Canadian anthem, but the end result was a pretty profound dig at the USA).
That would describe about 20 musical artists ...
Interesting counterpoint opinion. As a music educator, my main focus was his handling the chromaticism of the tune, a capella, with musicality. Additionally, if you want a straight-down-the-fairway performance of just about anything, simply don't hire Rufus Wainwright. He has never been that guy.
Love it. Rufus' corresponding tune might be "Dinner at 8."
... at the time, Reagan was considered to be off on the right, as well! The Overton Window has shattered from sheer torque over and over again since then, only to be re-installed by governments further to the right. Reagan would be immediately run out of town on a rail by today's MAGA GOP.
He seems like he was such a sweetie! That's my professional catsitter's POV. So sorry for this very big loss ♥️
My heart sank for a second when I saw his name trending, since he's not exactly a household name. Thankfully, it was for a great reason!
Very proud of the California-dwelling, largely Montreal-raised dual national/world citizen Rufus Wainwright. There was no better choice on the planet for the honor of this singular assignment -- particularly this year.

Hey GOP! Please stop flip-flopping for just a second: Do you support vote-by-mail, or not?

Your voters sure seem to.

It's also served our armed forces well for decades and is the most constitutionally protected form of communication we've got.

Republican voters drive increase in mail ballot requests in Pennsylvania
The uptick could be a sign that this year’s judicial retention races are stirring interest in the 2025 election.

Turning Point USA sent me a fundraising mailing today, complete with a heartfelt little note from Erika Kirk. I appreciate their supporting the USPS and all -- but wow, are they ever barking up the wrong tree.

I'm sure they "did their research," though.

Trump on sending troops into American cities: “If I want to enact a certain act, I’m allowed to do it…And I’d be allowed to do whatever I want…And the courts wouldn’t get involved. Nobody would get involved. And I can send the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines.”
Happiness? Personally, I'm scrolling in search of evidence of 1CE in/contiguous to my neighborhood, lately. Turns out that 60-ish white female US citizens are in the top tier of efficacy at shaming their sorry assezz, particularly when we know how to yell verrrrry loudly ...

But good point!

Man there are a lot of elected officials in this country who will go along with literally any idiotic idea instead of just building trains
Yes. The rest of us are just catching up to DC. Wouldn't be the first time ...
Pittsburgh please, Trae!

Women are being erased at the Pentagon. Women are being erased from history. And now a woman has been erased from the desecrated White House.
NEW: NBC News confirms that the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, on the east side of the White House, has been destroyed as part of the demolition of the East Wing.

Centering transit as a top-level issue in a US city's mayoral campaign? That alone is revolutionary -- and long overdue.

"The backbone of NYC's economy ... We have the slowest buses in America and more bus riders than any other US city."

Please continue to share photos of the profound unforced error which has befallen the People's House.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.
Yes, agreed on the overall focus. But in the article's list of several 20th century generations, including the Greatest Generation, the Boomers, etc., we weren't included. My point is about overall inclusion and has nothing to do with family trees per se.
