I still remember as if it was yesterday when I saw this movie in my late adolescence, back in 2002 on cinemax, it was a rainy night and I was just discovering and accepting myself. It is the only musical that I have loved and even after many years I have it fresh in my heart,
Incredible, just incredible. It’s 2022, and if I’m alive in 2032 I’ll still be coming back to this video. I have it on Apple Music, and it’s nice to have the middle verse in that one, but something about the version from the film just wrecks me every time I hear it. This is my favorite take of one of my favorite songs.
I was lucky enough to see Hedwig and the Angry Inch at the Egyptian theater in Seattle. I wish I wasn't so emotionally stunted at the time to properly take it in and appreciate it at the time.
