  • beautiful. if more americans look at this man as a fountain of wisdom, we would be happier.

  • What an inspiring genius! Thank you John Waters! Thank you! "...kids today should mock our fearing of getting older. I think kids should draw on bags [under our eyes], shave male pattern baldness - do everything we fear, get reverse face lifts"
