Theme: Midnight: Hedwig and the Angry Inch "Midnight Radio"
If you have never seen the film Hedwig and the Angry Inch (Mitchell 2001) then I suggest you head to the nearest Blockbuster (or Netflix, if you prefer) and get it. Originally performed live on stage, Hedwig was adapted to a film in 2001.
Hedwig is a beautiful and touching story of an MtF (male-to-female) up-and-coming rock star who has her songs stolen by songwriting partner, and now enemy, Tommy Gnosis. The film follows Hedwig through her musical journey of regaining fame, love, and self-worth.
"Midnight Radio" (Trask/Mitchell 1999) is one of the last songs/scenes of the film (Hedwig being the singer, in 'male form' in this scene).
