John Waters Tells Budding Artists To Make Trouble

quote [ ...this is how Waters introduced himself a couple of years ago to the Rhode Island School of Design Class of 2015:

I should say right off that I am really qualified to be your commencement speaker. I was suspended from high school, then kicked out of college in the first marijuana scandal ever on a university campus. I've been arrested several times. I've been known to dress in ludicrous fashions. I've also built a career out of negative reviews, and have been called 'the prince of puke' by the press. ]

RISD almost always has great commencement speakers, but Waters' was a particularly good one.

Of course I saw the photo and name and first thought 'Oh fuck he's dead'.
Anyway good to know he's still very much with us. John Waters is a national treasure.

I watched The Greasy Strangler the other day and it reminded me of an early John Waters movie, but with less direction.
