| Videos 1998: "April Fools" - directed by Sophie Mueller and filmed in Hollywood. [3:55] 2001: "California"- Rufus had knee surgery a few days prior to the filming, so he had to remain seated through most of the video. Martha Wainwright makes an appearance in the video. 2001: "Cigarettes & Chocolate Milk" - shots of Rufus playing at a grand piano and walking cold, sullen streets with his big headphoneslooking happy and cozy. 2002: "Across The Universe" - Rufus floats around in what seems to be a 3D version of a Magritte painting. The child from the film "I Am Sam" carries a red balloon; reminiscent of the film "The Red Balloon" |
