[10:30:45 AM] JTk says: Adapted from the critically acclaimed off-Broadway rock theatre hit, Hedwig and The Angry Inch tells the story of an “internationally ignored” rock singer, Hedwig, and her search for stardom and love. Born a boy named Hansel whose life’s dream is to find his other half, Hedwig reluctantly submits to a sex change operation in order to marry an American G.I. and get over the Berlin Wall to freedom. The operation is botched, leaving her with the aforementioned “angry inch”. Finding herself high, dry and divorced in a Kansas trailer park, she pushes on to form a rock band and encounters a lover/protégé in young Tommy Gnosis, who eventually leaves her, steals her songs and becomes a huge rock star.
[10:31:53 AM] JTk says: Okay, it is wacky and often disturbing – but ultimately a pretty good movie.
[10:31:55 AM] JTk says: but
[10:33:07 AM] JTk says: there was one song from the movie that is driving me crazy – It’s called The Origin Of Love and it is about guy/girl looking for its other half
[10:33:49 AM] JTk says: I am not sure what it is about that song……
[10:35:19 AM] JTk says: but I seriously cannot get it out of my head, it is consuming me
[10:35:38 AM] JTk says: This should be a blog post….
