RUFUS WAINWRIGHT WANTS A 12 HOUR BLACKOUT
Rufus Wainwright wants to raise awareness for saving the planet.
“On a Saturday around the summer solstice, June 21st, for a 12-hour period (noon to midnight), where ever you are, let’s all turn off the power at the same time.”
“Then at the end, the plan goes, we will make a list of things that we may or may not do in the coming year for the planet.”
The point?
“Just feeling the world around you. Turning off your air-conditioner. It could be bloody hot that day, but that’s a good thing because it’ll put some fire under your ass.”
Does Wainwright consider himself an environmentalist. No, but he says, “You’re not going to see me hanging out with Leonardo DiCaprio — other than for sexual purposes.”
