Lyrics by Stein & Hanbury
Directed by Michael Michetti
Angry crowds gather outside an abandoned theater as Queen Gertrude takes the stage to riff on Patti Smith and sing about her many loves and her many mistakes, while her country simmers in a volatile state of transition. As the bombs rain down and her coked-up son sells out to MTV, Gertrude hopes to incite one more riot before she goes.
