In Minute 87 of The Whole Shebang, Mike and Jenny are yet again joined by fancy guest host Jen Melchert, and we discuss: Mandy’s being misled to believe Brian was actually dead after his assassination on stage, what Mandy would’ve worn to the funeral, how Courtney Love fits into Jenny’s “maiden-mother-crone” formulation of rock and roll women, Mandy’s being utterly alone and isolated in Brian’s circle, and then we turn to Brian’s fall into cocaine paranoia and how it echoes Bowie’s own cocaine period, and how Bowie’s flirtation with the occult came at the very same time, look at how Aleister Crowley’s (and the Nazi Party’s) opinion of cocaine and amphetamines jibes with occult fascist Bowie, the strange career and life bookends of Bowie’s wearing the Station to Station striped suit in the videos for the Blackstar album, Mandy being the only adult in the room who was capable of ending it, our unexpected realization that Velvet Goldmine and Interview With The Vampire are the same exact movie, and Jenny’s obsession with the costumes from Velvet Goldmine and where they ended up.
