"Punks are my people": John Waters on Sex Pistols, L7, Stiv Bators, his 80th birthday tour, Mosswood Meltdown, more

"I always feel the most comfortable in the punk world because they want to be hated, which I find funny. Pink Flamingos was a punk movie. We even had the yellow, the color hair. You couldn't buy the color back then, you had to do it with India ink and magic marker. So we were always punk. In a way it was a great freedom when that came. And punks are my people still."
