The Whole Shebang Minute 16: Let Them Eat Cake
In Minute 16 of The Whole Shebang, Mike and Jenny take a deeper look at Velvet Goldmine’s 1984 and how it differs from and resembles our own, the legacy of Brutalist architecture in both the UK and US, the conscious turn to global, via-satellite stadium rock bombast in the 1980s and its representation in the form of Velvet Goldmine’s Tommy Stone, sinister 1980s corporations, earnest-yet-tone deaf 1980s music fundraisers, post-punk as comment on punk, and meeting a familiar face on the subway stairs.
