To celebrate the fact that tonight I'm going to see John Waters perform his stand-up routine at Brisbane Powerhouse, one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite films of his, as performed by one of my former teen crushes.
Rachel Sweet - Hairspray
I remember as a kid being really envious of Rachel Sweet going on the Be Stiff Tour in 1978. It was 'so unfair' that she got 'to be on tour with all the best musicians' despite 'not being a true punk', 'had her own teacher' and 'got to do gigs'. Funny.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, i still drag the white vinyl out occasionally and sing along.
