The Whole Shebang Minute 42: The Topsy-Turvy World of Heavy Rock

In Minute 42 of The Whole Shebang, Jenny and Mike look at rock and roll managers’ requirement to be slightly physically intimidating, our first listen to the song “The Whole Shebang,” and one of Mike’s favorite bands from the ‘90s, Grant Lee Buffalo, the possibility of the Velvet Goldmine soundtrack bands being victims of a Velvet Goldmine Curse, the history of Top of the Pops in British culture, its roots in pop music on pirate and continental radio, and its role in burnishing David Bowie’s legend, TotP’s American equivalents in American Top 40, American Bandstand, and Soul Train, and other scandalous TotP performances.
