TRIO just had an old David Letterman rerun from Oct '86. One of the guest was John Waters promoting his book Crackpot. I was instantly reminded of how I devoured that book when it came out. I remember sitting in social studies class and reading Crackpot in lieu of the required text.
I remember my friend Brian and I trading quotes back and forth from the book and laughing hysterically. It is no understatement to say that that is one of the books that truly changed my life. John Water's attitude and skewed perspective were manna from heaven to a teenager who was afraid of suffocating from the boredom and bullshit that was/is high school in a small midwestern city.
