No I haven’t heard Rufus Wainwright’s songs before, but neither have I heard Ben Lee’s, and a majority of the songs that Ben Folds played that night either. Ben Lee had a good sense of humor about his opening the show to an uncrowded house, and had funny interactions with his band. Ben Folds, well, was Ben Folds and completely crazy. They drew me in.

In this specific performance, Rufus Wainwright had none of that. I’ll give him another shot, but still, he was frankly boring at that concert to me.
