You’re spinning to your rock and roll!
It is clear that I must find my other half. But is it a he or a she? What does this person look like? Identical to me, or somehow complementary? Does my other half have what I don’t? Did he get the looks? The luck? The love? Were we really separated forcibly, or did he just run off with the good stuff? Or did I?
“He’s sort of bursting with energy, it’s kind of amazing to watch him move on stage. His movement is amazing.” — Matt Duncan (Tits of Clay)
Hedwig And The Angry Inch (2001) + hair
My sex change operation got botched; my guardian angel fell asleep on the watch; now all I got is a Barbie doll crotch; I’ve got an angry inch!
Hedwig and the Angry Inch, 2001
my name is hedwig! and please welcome the angry inch! (insp)
Breathe feel love, give free, know in your soul Like your blood knows the way From your heart to your brain Knows that you’re whole
I’m the new Berlin Wall.
I’m just another dollar that you made in your long, long grift.
Wear it up, let it down, this is the best way that I’ve found to be the best you’ve ever seen.

And you’re shining, like the brightest stars.

I’m so emotional. I didn’t think that I was so fast going to fall in love with this story, this musical and these wonderful songs and… Wow.
I think that Hedwig is a part of me and my life now. And it’s very cool!
