"Don't Tell Me About Sex, I Was Married to an Italian"

Here's a recent video of John Waters talking about free speech, liberal censors, and some of the seamier bits of Baltimore history. I appreciate the fact that he opened his remarks by yelling "fire" in a crowded theater.

John Waters standup scarred my fragile 18-year-old brain a few years ago. I've never heard so many gay poop jokes.

I just got the John Waters "Very Crudely Yours" box set last weekend. Thanks for posting this.

DANG. Cant YouTube at work. John Waters always fun to listen to, but definitely NSFW. Hope I can remember when I get home.

Oh this is AWESOME! Forwarding to my favorite community lists.

Although I do wish he had talked about the wave of restriction on free speech under the rubric of "campaign finance reform".

OK I WTFV (Watched The Fricking Video). It was classic Waters. I enjoyed everything except the part where he called on people to stop whining about Bush and "tip over cars, light some fires". Sorry John, I can't follow you to where vandalism and public endangerment are appropriate forms of protest and good clean fun.
