Will Oldham and R. Kelly

I almost skipped the profile of Will Oldham in last week's New Yorker, mostly because I kept confusing him with Todd Oldham (I know, I'm dumb).

But so anyway, what got me interested was when I saw this while scanning the article:

And he played a police officer in "Trapped in the Closet," the multipart comic opera by the R. & B. singer R. Kelly, who is one of Oldham's favorites. [1]

And so, of course, I ended up reading the whole article. I'm easy: I might even read a New Yorker theatre review if it mentioned R. Kelly.

[1] The episode in question, by the way, was number 15, from the second series of episodes (also known as the episodes that really disappointed me).
