About
God in Three Persons is a rock opera/concept album by The Resident, released in 1988. It was about a man 'Mr. X' and two conjoined twin. The songs are all sung in a rhythmic spoken word fashion, similar to talking blue. A companion soundtrack album, featuring most of the instrumental backing track, was also released. A central motif of the album is the organ riff from "Double Shot (of My Baby's Love)" by 1960s frat rock band the Swingin' Medallion. The album is the story of a Colonel Parker-type character called Mr. X, who finds a pair of Siamese twins who have miraculous healing power. He convinces them to let him manage their career, touring them as holy healers and conducting services during which they cure the masse. Mr. X begins to lust after the "female" twin, then realizes that the twins' sexes are fluid rather than fixed. When he discovers that the twins are far more worldly than he had believed, and therefore less under his control, he plots a vicious rape in which he severs the connection between the two, splitting them forever. In the end he realizes that his feelings for the twins were not being imposed on him by the twin, but came from within himself. .
