My conversation with Rufus Wainwright is coming up in a moment, but first, recorded live at The Paramour Estate in Los Angeles, let's start with Rufus Wainwright with "Trouble in Paradise." And LA is where he was when we recorded this session, our very first World Cafe in front of a live, virtual audience. And more recently, he moved back to LA to make his new record, Unfollow the Rules. Since then, he's released several albums, he's written operas, he's lived in Canada and the United States. He played in the family band and in the mid-'90s, he went to Los Angeles to make his debut solo album, which ended up being his breakout. That means Rufus grew up with music all around him, all the time.

Rufus Wainwright has been making music pretty much his entire life. ![]()
