>From The Rolling Stone rave review of Rufus Wainwright's new cd Poses: Great pop albums are successful evocations of a type of life: it must be a life lived by more than one person, but it doesn't matter if it is a small handful (the circle of trannies and drug connections described by Lou Reed's Transformer) or thousands (the post-hippie women who understood Joni Mitchell's Blue on the deepest frequencies.) Poses achieves this for the life of the Chelsea Boy. Those are some awesome comparisons. Jerry
