In Minute 32 of The Whole Shebang, Jenny and Mike look at Brian’s debut on the festival stage, his long purple frock and boots and the rock crowd’s reaction, the term “sexual revolution” and its origins in the 1920s “sexpol” works of Wilhelm Reich, the song “Sebastian” and the glam-adjacent “gothic love songs” of Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel, the lifespan of a rock and roll scene being a very Bowie-esque five years, the history of rock festivals including Bowie’s 1971 memories of the first Glastonbury Free Festival, our own experiences at rock festivals including Download and the classic Lollapalooza, and the early hippie-glam version of Brian’s Venus In Furs backing band.
