Hedwig

My name is Hedwig Robbinson. I am In a band called Hedwig and The Angry Inch. It is a great band but Tommy Gnosis had to go and steal our songs and he became all popular and shit and forgot about the true meaning of Rock and Roll and just an internationally ignored slip of a girly boy from communist East Berlin song stylist barely standing before you. And how did this happen? Let me tell you. Our apartment was so small, that mother made me play in the oven. Late at night I would listen to the voices of the American masters, Tony Tennille, Debby Boone, Anne Murray who was actually a Canadian working in the American idiom. And then there were the crypto-homo rockers: Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, David Bowie who was actually an idiom working in America and Canada. These artists, they left as deep an impression on me as that oven rack did on my face. To be an American in muskrat love, soft as an easy chair not even the chair, I am I said, have I never been mellow? And the colored girls sing... doo do doo do doo do doo... but never with the melody. How could I do it better than Tony or Lou... HEY BOY, TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE!
