The Whole Shebang Minute 59: The Twittering of the Fripperies

In Minute 59 of The Whole Shebang, Mike, Jenny and special guest Cat talk about the Slade gang’s reaction to the news that they’re going to America and the spectacularly weird choices they make on famous people they want to meet there, Brian’s date with destiny with Curt Wild in New York, Suzi Quatro and her Velvet Goldmine-verse analogue in Polly Small, Donna Matthews, Elastica, and the Velvet Goldmine curse, the New York Dolls’ “Personality Crisis” and David Johansen’s reinvention of himself in the 1980s as Buster Poindexter, and the legend of Max’s Kansas City in the early ‘70s. And then we talk with Cat about how she came to discover Velvet Goldmine through the tutelage of her older sister Jenny, and how it became a style bible for her in her legendary Tag Days.
