John Waters & Peaches

   At The El Rey 2/15. Our favorite shock-trash campmeister may have cleaned up his work a bit for the masses, but if you listen closely, you can still find some inside jokes well-placed for his die-hard fans. His films have resurrected the careers of Hollywood has-beens, and made stars of unknowns like Divine, Rikki Lake and more. His social commentary is dead on, and his tongue in cheek humor is so endearing because he doesn’t take himself too seriously. He’s over the top, in technicolor, yet refreshingly real and unpretentious - unlike so many in an industry of stretched n’ tucked glitz.
