Rufus of the Day

In response to Rufus Wainwright calling a church on 23rd Street "crappy" in comparison to Notre friggin' Dame in Paris,

One nearby resident said Wainwright “needs to apologize . . . and buy the church some candles. Parishioners are up in arms that their church, which has long served the poor, has been insulted by a neighbor.”

Wainwright told us, “It is a beautiful church, and I hope that it gets the restoration it deserves. But considering the Catholic Church’s views on gay rights, they won’t get much help decorating.”
