has anybody ever read any of john waters' books? he's really lucid, and surprisingly open-minded in his tastes. in one of them-- i think it's shock value-- he has this long bit about marguerite duras that i thought was really funny and amazing...

"art, a sex book" is good, too. co-written with critic bruce hainley, it's basically a catalog the two of them curated for an imaginary contemporary exhibit of their favorite work.

He's awesome in most ways. You can listen to 5 or so interviews with Terry Gross on the Fresh Air archives. His Chirstmas album is amazing. One song he chose is about Santa being black and having an afro sung by a child.
