Split-aparts. Soul mates. Twin flames. Whether you're contemplating Plato or viewing The Butcher's Wife or reading Asimov's The Gods Themselves, as I currently am, the concept is the same. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. If you have found yours, blessings on you, oh beamish ones! The rest of us, okay fine, even you happy already-paired-off people, can enjoy John Cameron Mitchell's take on the legend. From Hedwig and the Angry Inch, give a listen to and a look at The Origin of Love. The lesson for today is, boys and girls, don't piss off the gods.
