Following up on his supremely twisted Xmas album of a few years ago, John Waters is coming out with a Valentine's compilation. Like fun! Here's an interview with Waters plugging the CD and discussing other stuff as well. It's interesting that he calls out imdb for being 20 years out of date with the story about him attending criminal trials. Because it was close to 20 years ago when I saw him speak (after a screening of Polyester) and he talked about some of the trials he was attending. One quibble tho. I think Waters is completely wrong that no straight people know what bears are. Hell, Colbert has joked about it, in the context of his ursine phobia, and without providing any much context on the bear scene in gay communities.



(btw, have i mentioned lately how much i love flickr. it took me all of seconds to find this photo of John Waters to illustrate this post)
