JOHN WATERS My dirtiest memory happened when I
was about fifteen. I was going to Ocean City, which is about three hours
away from Baltimore, with a bunch of kids in a convertible. I was sitting
in the backseat. We were going down the highway and in front of us you
could see a buzzard in the road eating road kill and we were getting
closer and closer. They always fly away, and this one did too, but two
seconds too late. So it hit the hood of the car, flew back, and landed
in the backseat on top of us. You could see its eyes, you could feel
its wings flapping with mange and dirt. It was only in the backseat
for like three seconds, then it flew out the back, but that is a memory
I can never ever forget. It was truly a dirty feeling you could never
wash off, a hideous little experience but kind of a great one because
no matter how many times I tell the story I can never describe what
it felt like for those three seconds. I guess it was like a horror movie.
MIKE KELLEY Actually, I think my dirtiest memory
is more like a guilt projection. 1 always used to imagine God as a film
editor. He was up in heaven at a console, from which he was projecting
all of your sins for a big audience of saints, and all your dead relatives
were there weeping. All the good parts of your life were edited out
and only the nasty dirty bits had been saved and cut together into one
film that lasted forever and made all the dead people from all of time
so sad that they spent the rest of eternity weeping. I really want to
build that control room.
