I once met John Waters at a videostore in California in 2002. My coworker was a huge fangirl and he treated us like we were some celebrity talk show hosts. John if you lurk here and happened to find our weird little corner of the internet I love you man.

      He is so fuckin cool. He just hung out with us for like two hours nerding it up about our favorite films. Not only am I privileged to be existing contemporaniously with him but I actually got to meet him. I’ve known many celebrities and revolutionaries in my 40 years and he is in the top 5 coolest people I have ever met. Another couple are George Clinton from Parliament Funkadelic and Bunny Wailer.

      I also met Carlos Santana before he blew up. Got my dad an autographed CD for his birthday even.

        Carlos Santana

        I used to like Santa, but then he felt it necessary to make the world know how he feels about trans people, while also claiming to stand in solidarity with Dave Chappelle. kombucha-disgust This was during that period when multiple old school performers I enjoyed spoke out against trans people.

    I know this is just a me thing, but I’ve refused to watch anything he’s made after finding out a chicken is killed for real in one of his movies.
