And common for Rufus. You either love him, or hate him. There is no in-between. I think he's a stellar talent of his generation and his singing superb. A friend of mine says he's a mumbler and can't understand a word he sings. But the same has been thought of Joni. Many say her early voice was that of a screamer, and that now her voice is shot. I don't agree with either opinion. Jerry np: Rufus Wainwright - Over the Rainbow
