The entertainment industry takes its knocks, but at its very best it helps produce true originals. Few have flown their freak flag longer and stronger that freewheeling director, artist and personality John Waters.

With a lifetime of wild celebrity run-ins, Waters always has something surprising to say. “I always re-write my show once a year. So you will be seeing my brand new showand it is really new, really up to date and I have only done it once before at the John Waters Summer Camp to test it. It’s about how the new generation is even surprising me. It’s a fully written 70-minute monologue that I write and memorize, no notes. It is about everything — my career, politics, sex, fashion, parents.

On the momentous occasion, Waters is sincere. “The whole week was astonishing. It was at the Academy Awards museum. It was really thrilling and I was really happy to be alive to experience it. A lot of time you get it when you’re dead, if you ever get it. My family was there, my oldest friends. It was like being on the TV show from the ‘50s– I was expecting them to bring out my baby sitter from when I was in junior high.

But Water’s greatest gift may be the most obvious: as a keeper of wild and irreverent stories. With the randomness of a Madlib, Waters has seemingly interacted with every great creator of the late 20, Waters was pleased to see his old directing friend again. “We know each other some — he makes really wonderful movies. Often I’ll hear the number one movie in the country and I’ve never even heard of it. But I think that’s more because I miss movie marketing, they don’t have it anymore.
