so how exactly do you pronounce his name?

i had thought for years that it was phonetically done - Lou Don
However, i think now it may be more like Law Den

Can anyone help? I gotta interview the dude and I don't wanna get off to the worst start by getting the name totally wrong

:heart:

Now there's name-dropping for ya! Sorry, I don't have a clue: I've always said Lew Den though for some reason.

Just keep calling him Rufus, he won't mind

 

[Ciansy]

I'd say you should keep calling him 'bloody motherfucking asshole', he won't mind.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

Ask him what does he think of his 1973 hit 'Dead Skunk'.

I think it's dead funny.

 

[Brush]

I wouldnt worry about it.

WAINWRIGHT: MY FATHER TRIED TO KILL ME



LOUDON WAINWRIGHT III threatened to kill his son RUFUS over an article in
Rolling Stone magazine. The quirky hitmaker wasn't impressed when his singer
father appeared in the popular magazine and was quick to remind him his recent
popularity was only down to his son's success. But Louden reacted angrily to the
taunts. He says: "There was no physical...he threatened to kill me, he didn't
try to kill me. But he was serious. I had to leave the house at the time because
he was so angry."
