THE COCKETTES w/ David Weissman

DAVID WEISSMAN:

This week, we talked to David Weissman (the co-director of ‘The Cockettes’ & ‘We Were Here’) about the amazing documentary ‘The Cockettes’—documenting the trailblazing, avant-garde drag & music ensemble from the late 60s.  We discussed the origin stories of The Cockettes, John Waters’ passion for the troupe and his involvement with the documentary, the difference in the ways the 60s played out for The East Coast vs. The West Coast, the emerging SF punk scene & brushing your teeth with drugs.

So let down your hair and put on a show with this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!!!
