Baltimore's favorite son, independent filmmaker John Waters, director of trash-cult classics Pink Flamingos, Polyester, Pecker and others joins us to talk music. For decades Waters has used a love of early rock and roll and obscure R&B to build sleazy soundtracks for his celluloid paeans to the seamier sides of life.
