In Minute 84 of The Whole Shebang, Jenny and Mike look at Arthur’s abashedness at meeting the Flaming Creatures and being blown a kiss, the proto-goth aesthetic at the Flaming Creatures show, the beginnings of the prehistory of goth in Jim Morrison and the Velvet Underground and the ‘90s resurgence of a glam-goth look, and then we look at Brian Slade’s fans’ rebellion against his assassination hoax with the burning of his albums and memorabilia, the burning of records throughout rock history and how it’s reflected in Disco Demolition Night, Brian’s post-assassination downfall surrounded by groupies, drugs, and bad hairstyles, and Brian’s being an early adopter of home video technology, and our own memories of how video recorders and home video entered our lives.
