Three count 'em THREE QAF musical tie-ins at the Out for Equality Inaugural Ball last night!
Rufus Wainwright, who is gay gay gay himself, sings "Poses" in the S2 scene where Brian doesn't buy the roses:
“I’m so tired of Rick Warren,” Rufus Wainwright sang, tweaking the lyrics to his anthem “Going to a Town.” (”I’m so tired of you, America.”) “I’m so tired of California,” he sang, earning a smattering of “woos” at the Human Rights Campaign’s Out for Equality ball at the Mayflower Hotel on Tuesday night.
Then there was Miss Cyndi Lauper!
But the crowd was far more effusive when Mr. Wainwright brought out another performer, Cyndi Lauper. For one duet, she climbed up on the piano like an old-fashioned chanteuse, albeit one in leather pants.
And last, Rich Morel, who sings the song "True (The Faggot is You)" from the pilot and like Rufus has teh gay, joined Cyndi, Rufus, and everyone else:
Ms. Lauper certainly didn’t disappoint. In her set, which came before that of the headliner, Melissa Etheridge, Ms. Lauper brought out Mr. Wainwright and other performers, including the soul singer Thelma Houston, to belt out a raucous dance version of her signature number, “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.” .... She was barefoot and backed by Rich Morel on keyboard, and there was a Barack and Michelle chant in place of one of the choruses. It briefly brought the house down, and then everybody went back to dancing.
