    Political piano man Rufus Wainwright teamed up with director Petro Papahadjopoulos for the new video 'Rules and Regulations.' The video features Rufus in a London mansion rockin' Droog-ish long johns with a fleet of men, all doing synchronized dance moves.

    Hmmm...really out the ordinary brcause I would never think Rufus would be in a video like that, its something very new, fresh but I like it in a way it goes with the song.

    Rufus rules-- even this hyper-produced record is fun to listen to and harkens back to his debut. Looking forward to the Garland covers next.

    Privileged to see Rufus live in Oxford on 25th June. Thoroughly enjoyed every second of an amazing all-round performance - the audience were mesmerized by the whole experience.
    Have booked to see him again at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham in October. What extraordinary talent Rufus has. Just to say - when you are not so serious, you have a lovely smile Rufus!! Take good care of yourself.
