Divine - Born to be cheap (live on letterman)

[@zbrown187]

This is the most punk rock thing I've ever seen.

[@Pariahmary]

The Pink Pilgrim slap a republican sticker on her and it would be the epitome of punk

[@MarieProvost77]

I was part of the 'scene' wherein gay/straight/whatever artists/performers/creators came together bitd - punk/trash/new wave/groundbreaking/hi or lo art & culture all coming together in an explosion that widened the diversity that had grown in the '70s. I was close to Baltimore & at one point drank outside a nu wave D.C. club with Edith the Egg Lady (from a brown paper bag, of course) - & more...

Divine and John Waters were pioneers of Punk, before Punk was even made! 💖

Yes!!

Rest in peace Divine. We miss you

That must have been so outrages and shocking for American tv then, but good on Letterman for pushing the boundaries. I adored Divine from the first time I saw him in Pink Flamingos and then discovered the earlier movies and have all the music he released and got to see him live once. Gone to soon.

[@JimOblon]

What’s weird is, it wasn’t shocking at all. Nobody cared.

[@KateSharkun]

but they cared about Madonnas music videos@@JimOblon

My brother killed himself, ate and smoked marijuana, and at a time his body couldn't handle it and according to Wikipedia he had sex with a porn actor who was HIV positive called Leo Ford

In those days we didn't care about Drag or Race. We pretty much just got along.

[@DavidKen878]

Words cannot express how much I love Divine!

[@Dion_Mustard]

Absolutely fabulous and hilarious. The way Divine shakes and shimmies is so sassy and camp and hysterical - the best dancing I've ever seen by a man in drag!

[@warwarparente4213]

He wasn't a transvestite or Drag Queen, he was just a permomatic actor, he was a man

[@TheVerbalVolley]

I found myself absolutely LOVING this video. I have actually saved it to my list of "Favorites". Divine is just that.

[@sadeatthewhip1846]

Me too! So legit Divine forever

[@RoachOnAFennec]

I WAS BORN TO BE CHEAP! Love it.

[@BrookeEvangelineWinter]

I wanted to use this song my first time doing karaoke. No one even knew who the hell Divine was lol. I live in the Midwest, so I was not surprised. When I vacationed in CA I went to a really rad goth/punk bar that was doing karaoke the next night. And did I have any better luck? NO.😖 I refuse to ever participate in that nonsense unless I can belt out: 🫧☆♡"I'm CHEAP CHEAP"!!!☆♡🫧

If you gave this a thumbs down there is something really, really wrong with you.

[@Lyndanet]

What a performance 🎭

[@ojaftertoothpaste7174]

I wish I could have seen Divine live.

[@seismicoracle]

Saw him in about 1984. Just him with backing tracks, a brilliantly funny and filthy narrator and could really sing. One of the best I ever saw.

[@ojaftertoothpaste7174]

Wow what an experience. I wasn't born until 85 so I only got to hear the legends 💞

[@danielhirschberg876]

Fantastic!!!

[@VonL]

To those lamenting the lack of a Bette Midler duo, take comfort that Bathhouse Bette knew she was never in Divine’s league & never would measure up.

[@labartworld]

Amazing performance , she always rocked the club scene, her single “Born to be Cheap” a 45 was the first release for Wax Trax Records in 1981, Harris Glenn Milstead, was a Drag Queen, recording artist & film star ... (-_-)
