      Laugh out loud funny. Kudos to you John Waters for being so absurdly nuts AND able to tell a good story. I’m off to find some JW books

      I was introduced to John Waters in the basement of a friend’s home. We all sat around stoned as Pink Flamingos was projected onto the wall. It felt so rebellious, outrageous, scandalous! What unfolded was shockingly original, hilarious, grotesque and memorable. Divine was iconic. I became a fan and also saw Polyester and Hairspray. I would be very interested in reading some of his books. It’s wonderful to read this perspective of Waters at 73! His parents sound amazing, as it had to be a challenge to raise such an unusual child. Really wonderful that John recognized that.

      Personality disorders are a terrible thing to waste.

      Fun read! I've never actually seen a John Waters movie but reading this made me want to.
