I was watching Cry Baby last night, John Waters' perfectly bonkers 1990 tribute to the 1950s.

If you've never seen it, or you just miss it, check the clip below.

Worth the price of admission just to see Darren E. Burrows' greaser's quiff, Iggy Pop gone red neck, and the rest.

Reminded me of what Bobby Gillespie said about Tav Falco's guide to Memphis: "It's the bible of deep-fried rockabilly psychosis."

See for yourself:
