Rufus’ speaking voice is musical!!!!. Going To A Town is a song that takes America to task on their pre Obama ideology that gay marriage was biblically wrong. You won’t go to hell for having loved . We are all God’s children. Brilliant man
I only recently encountered this utterly brilliant musician when I watched a video in which he sang ‘Wrapped around your finger ‘ live at Sting’s birthday concert. This song is also gorgeously delivered. I find the lyrics deeply disturbing in May 2020 because they are so prescient. ‘Sword of Damocles ‘ is another haunting song.
Did anyone think Chris was funnier than Rob and Steve? The BBC did cuz they paid him for showing up and reading the sun every day .. I paid the licence fee once , never again.
Charlotte Gage, when I first read your comment, in my early Rufus days, I didn’t understand it. How could he be both filthy and sweet? After seeing him perform 30+ times, I understand. He feels no shame, so there is no charge on anything he says. It’s all very matter-of-fact, so comes across as sweet, much like his comment on making lederhosen one’s own.
I discovered Rufus almost 3 years ago and got to my first concert at Carnegie Hall June 16, 2016. Since then, I see his shows whenever and wherever I can - Canada, Netherlands, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Colorado, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia. I’ll soon be catching 11 more performances in New York, Germany, Switzerland and South Dakota. I just love everything about him - his songs, his voice, his sense of humor, not to mention his beautiful face. Seeing Rufus perform is currently my major hobby and how I spend the majority of my discretionary income.
On a side note I recently, because of these two, discovered that I can do a pretty good Roger Moore impression lol. Just need to tweak it. Been doing impressions since I was young xD Mainly cartoon characters but yeh. I can also impersonate Darth Sidious from Star Wars which also requires the same sort of lower gravely voice.
