I saw Rufus Wainwright at Osheaga last year, which I'd always meant to blog about, more humourously perhaps than in the current context (for one thing, he was going through this massively hirsute period and I was on tenterhooks, but when he came onstage he was clean-shaven and had obviously very recently lopped his hair into a drastic Barrowman; and wore a shirt of which the traumatizing details I've blocked from memory already). It was the day I was crowded against the barrier in the rain and mud for four hours straight in order to authentically experience Arctic Monkeys, but during Rufus's set the sun was still out. He sang "La complainte de la butte", did a quite good bit from his opera, wished Adam Yauch well, and as per typical Montreal show brought on a family member as special guest. So I saw Kate McGarrigle live, for the first and what turned out to be the last time. They sang "Entre Lajeunesse et la sagesse" together, over Kate playing piano solo, and Kate told Rufus off for his incomplete bilingualism. She must have been ill already, but she didn't look it in the least. She wore tiny khaki shorts and a checkered indie-girl scarf and had the figure of an audience member one-third her age. I remember thinking that if I had energy (and legs!) like that when I reached her time of life I'd clap myself on the back for doing well.

"That was a morbid episode, the theme was DEATH."

Maybe you should have saved it for episode four.
