At the time, Adam and I were obsessed with cabaret singer and actress Bridget Everett. When I was sick and unable to sing, I’d found solace in Bridget’s voice, and Adam, needing to play music, had joined her band. We watched the movie Rudy at her suggestion and didn’t like it much, but we thought “Rudy” was a really cute name. (We never made the connection to Rudy Giuliani, or we never would have considered it.)
