In this humorous narrative that riffs on cloning and the notion of celebrity, Anderson plays herself, her electronically altered, undersized male clone and his oversized female clone. As she explains to an interviewer in the opening scene, Anderson has become so busy as a pop personality that she no longer has time to write. Her chain-smoking clone does it for her. He writes music based on Howard Moss's poem, "Hansel & Gretel," and Walter Benjamin's "Illuminations." He also pursues his own creative projects, including two short films--a diner comedy and a conversational road movie. In the end, the clone is so busy that he needs his own clone. Songs include "Smoke Rings," "Progress," and the rock spiritual, "Call Him Up and Tell Him What You Want."
