John Waters Newbie Screens a Waters Marathon
(New at the time and showing in “Oderama,” with scratch-and-sniff libretto), a group of well over a dozen flamboyantly dressed men, most in drag, weren’t even in the theater yet when a violent battle erupted between them on the sidewalk.Aztec manager Freddie Bantug always referred to it after that as “the fifteen f%ggt fight” (pardon the un-PC term, but it was 30 years ago), barely able to control his laughter every time it came up. It was an astonishingly cartoon sight and sound, all these guys screeching insults and flaming at their hottest, slapping each other and crying and pulling their wigs off, whacking each other with strappy shoes…it seemed to go on forever while we waited for the cops to come break it up.
The "fifteen f%ggt fight" is etched in my memory far more clearly than anything I saw in Pink Flamingos In fact, I spent years trying to FORGET the images that DID flash on the Aztec's screen, most notably and notoriously the giant drag queen eating doggy poo...I mean, what irradiated strain of mutant devil weed were they SMOKING in Baltimore, to think THAT would qualify as "entertainment"?!
So it was with some trepidation that I recently programmed a John Waters DVD-a-thon, in order to see what (if anything) I've been missing out by avoiding the other/later movies made by that greasy looking crazy dude from Baltimore. The lineup: Cry-Baby, Hairspray,
As far as the overall setup and mood (Cool Kids VS Straights), the replication of ‘50s/60s juvenile delinquent films is actually fairly accurate, if told from the Elvis POV rather than that of “the man.”
"The good girls want him bad...the bad girls want him worse..."
Some of the music actually comes from the era depicted (Earl Bostic’s “Jungle Drums” f'r instance), tho most are rerouted thru Water cast members as more spoof than tribute, ala the prop-laden “Teenage Prayer” number.
Johnny Depp probably wouldn't be able to dance if you put a taser to his testicles, but he successfully evokes enough of an Elvis/Dean vibe to ring authentic and likeable, in both body and spoken language
Ricki “Hairspray” . Along the way, she discovers that negros can dance pretty well too, and that people shouldn’t be so mean to negros, prompting her to take on social causes like integration, at least of the TV dance floor.
Tracy's nemesis is the uptight former dance queen of the program, Amber VonTussle, whose parents taught her that she should never mix her whites with coloreds. Both dancers aspire to be crowned Miss Auto Show 1963.
Sept. 14: '60s "Sex Kitten, Joey Heatherton is 66 today.
Dear Fellow Music Lovers- During my life, I've had the good fortune to live and travel to many places. What I've found wherever I go - whether I'm sitting in a blues club in Memphis or New Orleans, or a coffee shop or tavern in Caracas, Tel Aviv, or Sarajevo - people gather where there's music. All over the World, people sing when they're happy and when they're sad; we sing when our heart is broken, and when our heart is ready to burst with love. We sing about puppies and politics - weather and whether not. And when does music make us the happiest? On our birthdays; especially if someone remembers and sings happy birthday to us. That's why I started these sites. I hope when your friends, relative or other loved one has a birthday - including YOU! - you'll turn to this site and send them this page and a message. Or, if I post a musical act you love, or love to hate, let me know by leaving a comment below each post. I hope you enjoy the site!
