I saw the ultra-creepy Michael Alig biopic with that grown-up Home Alone (we always called it "homo alone" back in the day) kid in the title role and I remember whispering to a friend as we watched, "Macauley really ISN'T acting here, is he?" SCARY.
Hadn't heard that Alig was a DS fan, but it kind of figures. As for Warhol, Candy, et al., I've heard that they watched regularly in the Factory with everyone stoned ... blitzed out of their minds. I often think of that now whenever they turn on the psychedelic effects and Grayson intones "Find the center of the light."
There have been several mentions on these boards about Quentin Tarantino (who I guess is pretty much washed up now?) being a huge DS fan and appearing on those late night chat shows with his Barnabas cane.
