The Whole Shebang Minute 24: Like The Pendulum Of A Grandfather Clock

In Minute 24 of The Whole Shebang, Jenny, Mike, and Brant talk about the character of Cecil, Brian Slade’s manager, the meaning of Cecil’s hospital stay in the context of the 1980s, AIDS, conversion therapy, and gay-bashing, Cecil’s real-life inspirations in the forms of Noel Coward and Ken Pitt, gay mentorship, young David Bowie’s propensity for walking around naked, Bobby Beausoleil and Joe Orton, and Velvet Goldmine’s desire to show us its characters’ origins and whether or not they’re truly important.
