In The Wall Street Journal this week, I interviewed director John Waters on growing up in Lutherville, Md. (go here). In the 1970s, I spent many hours in Boston movie theaters watching Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, The Diane Linkletter Story and Multiple Maniacs. Interviewing John, the King of Aging Trash, was rewarding, especially since he really grasped the nifty quality of my “House Call” column on celebrity childhood.

Oddball album cover of the week.
Wow, both a collector’s album and a limited edition. A record of quality, “from your Sanitone dry cleaner.” Something to give customers when you can’t find their garments.
