I had a good day.

Listen above for today's These Days interview with John Waters. (Please Note: For host Tom Fudge, Divine lives on.)

Also, yesterday when I was doing my research for this segment, I listened to most of the album A Date With John Waters . It's Waters' collection of his favorite romance songs. It's so great... my favorite tracks are Sometimes I Wish I Had a Gun by Mink Stole, the Edith Massey version of Big Girls Don't Cry , and the hilarious In Spite of Ourselves .

Become a KPBS sponsor

I'll be seeing Cry-Baby next week so I'll report back. Did you know that Adam Schlesinger from Fountains of Wayne composed the music? And, David Javerbaum, the executive producer of The Daily Show, wrote the lyrics!
