To find out, I asked Rhys to Take 5 with the unexpected. And from John Prine to Ru-Paul, mapped a beautiful picture of Rhys's magical life.  Scissor Sisters – Running Out  David Byrne – Glass, Concrete and Stone  John Prine – In Spite of Ourselves  Georgia Mooney – War Romance  Ru Paul – Sissy That Walk
