In Minute 33 of The Whole Shebang, Jenny and Mike look at the rockers’ reactions to Brian including some more classic British euphemisms and slurs for “gay,” the iconography of suffering and queerness in the Christian artistic image of St. Sebastian, Mandy’s and Cecil’s differing approaches to constructive criticism, the danger of playing tragic torch songs badly as exemplified by Judy Garland’s late career, the Brechtian-style cabaret of both Brian Slade and David Bowie, and the inspirational fabulousness of Mandy’s afghan coat.
