In a recent interview, legendary oddball filmmaker and writer John Waters (Hairspray, Pink Flamingos) said, "I still do hitchhike-- it's a great way to meet people, and to have sex." And it's a nice way to become acquainted with indie rock bands, apparently.
Brooklyn act Here We Go Magic recently randomly picked up Waters in Western Pennsylvania, during a hitchhiking trip from Baltimore to... who knows where.
Guitarist Michael Bloch explained:
