Hedwig is playing small joints in the States with her band The Angry Inch whilst recounting her life story. Originally a boy in East Berlin who married a GI after a botched sex-change operation, she ends up dumped in a trailer park and falls for a local teenager, Tommy, who steels her songs and becomes a huge star. Glam Rock has never seemed less glamorous for the down-at-heel Hedwig.
