I write about John Waters so often that I should probably just give him a subcategory of his own. He’s my hero, my inspiration, my favourite entertainer. How can I not file away the best bits from him that I come across? How can I not document our occasional interactions?
This interview from The Guardian is short, but an entertaining read as always. It has the ring of Waters starting the press junket for his Christmas tour (which I’ll see when it comes here), but it has a few details I haven’t known about before, and that’s a rare pleasure. The most charming one is that he’s a big fan of wine gums, since they are a favourite of mine. Kismet! Once again, I followed in his footsteps without knowing it.
