I saw an interview with him on TV and he seemed interesting.
Other than "Dead Skunk" don't know much about him.
Is he worth seeing?

There was something about him that I liked.
Just hadn't had any exposure to him.

Location: Warren,Pa. | He sang "Happy Feet" in The Aviator. There's an interview with him in the special features on the DVD. Again, a novelty piece...not really representative of his work. Looked like a lot of fun, though.

His son, Rufus . . . eh.
(an "acquired taste" - not that there's anything "wrong" w/that)
His daughter, Martha has her moments. |

(Rufus- does a great cover of Cohen's "Hallelujah" but, Loudon missed the mark with "Rufus Is TitMan" ) |
