"It’s about taste, and I’ve always made my living from my taste, whether it’s thought of as good or bad. This kind of album, to me, is a litmus test. If I had a date with somebody and they really hated this album, I couldn’t date them. Anybody that couldn’t like “All I Could Do Is Cry” by Tina Turner, I really couldn’t fall in love with. That song led to this scene in Female Trouble where Divine gets married and Edith Massey is sitting in the back of the church just sobbing and furious. I really think it’s from that song.” Track list:
