"I knew Paul, certainly, and I have a dinner party every year with [photographer] Greg Gorman in L.A. I had it last week and Paul was supposed to be there. He was there every year. [His recent death is] very sad. And he was right up there with Howdy Doody and Lassie in the history of American television, if you ask me. A great gentleman who celebrated the delightful."
-- John Waters spoke to THR today about his forthcoming exhibit at the Academy Museum (god I wanna go so bad) and the above is the sweetness that he had to say about the passing of our beloved friend Paul Reubens -- and seeing as how those two, alongside Vincent Price, make up my holy trinity... well excuse me if I'm crying again. I had been planning on quoting John from earlier in the piece, the very funny bit where he talks about Pink Flamingos airing on TCM recently, but as soon as Paul came up that was the obvious winner. But make sure you go read the whole chat!
