In an interview last October in _Rolling Stone_, Rufus Wainright mentioned that he’s related to the Roches, but doesn’t mention how. Could someone who’s hipper than I elaborate on this link? How are they related? ---

His dad, Loudon Wainwright III, used to be married to one of the Roche sisters. I’m thinking she’s his mom. ---
