There are various signposts by which we mark the beginning of the holiday season. My favorite is John Waters' return to Portland for his annual “A John Waters Christmas” show at the Aladdin Theater. It always sells out, and has again this year. Nevertheless, it's a chance to talk with John about the show and all of the exciting things he's been up to over the past year. We know each other from my Baltimore days. I was born there and spent far too many decades there before I escaped to Portland. Mine was his final interview of the day about the show. Lucky us. Welcome back John Waters.
WTOP Entertainment Reporter Jason Fraley chats with legendary cult filmmaker John Waters, who brings "A John Waters Christmas" to The Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia on Dec. 21. He shares memories of growing up in Baltimore, protesting in D.C. and directing cult classics like "Pink Flamingos" and "Hairspray," which of course became a smash Broadway musical. (Theme Music: Scott Buckley's "Clarion")
Terry Gross spoke to John Waters in 2004 upon the release of his album 'A John Waters Christmas,' collecting some entertaining and ridiculous Christmas records. Waters is famous for his films 'Pink Flamingos' and 'Hairspray.' Also, we'll listen to rock historian Ed Ward's 1992 review of the novelty Christmas recordings the Beatles sent their fan club. Finally, we'll hear the late Susannah McCorkle's 1988 Christmas concert.

John Waters returns to Portland for his Christmas show on Tuesday, November 30 at the Aladdin Theatre after not doing the show in the evil 2020. It's his annual “John Waters Christmas” full of holiday cheer, John Waters style. I've known John since 1970 when he was the outrageous underground film maker and I was the editor of the hippie newspaper in Baltimore Maryland. Matter of fact, near the end of our conversation John brings up a house that we shared serially. He moved out and we moved in. It was in that living room that Divine was raped by a giant lobster. Say hi to John Waters

(This program was originally broadcast on October 5, 2018) Tom's guest for the hour is John Waters. He’s a filmmaker, actor, and writer -- not necessarily in that order. Early in his career, Waters established himself as an enfant terrible who was affectionately dubbed the ----King of Sleaze.---- His filmography spans 40 years and 16 films, some of which are cult classics, while others, like Hairspray, are revered as popular icons.John Waters is also the author of eight books, including Role Models, a collection of essays of people who have shaped his life in important ways; Carsick, his journal of a hitchhiking trip from Baltimore to San Francisco; and Make Trouble, adopted from a speech he delivered at the Rhode Island School of Design.What is perhaps less well known by the general public is that John Waters is also a prolific and insightful visual artist. On Sunday, the Baltimore Museum of Art will open a major retrospective of John’s work, in a show that includes 160 examples of art that show Waters to be a trenchant observer and analyst of popular culture. The show is called Indecent Exposure. John and BMA curator Kristen Hileman will have a public conversation about the exhibition on the first of November. And on Friday night, Nov. 9, the BMA will screen 18 hours of John Waters movies. There will be prizes for folks who complete the entire Waters film marathon.Baltimore is also one of the stops on the John Waters Christmas tour this season. You can catch “A John Waters Christmas” at the Baltimore Soundstage on Dec. 19.We livestreamed this conversation. To see the video, click here.
