...Five years, all that glam, and Mercury nomination rumors later, they can still raise the roof in a backroom. Which is what they like best...
...cheer of whistles, bongos and absolute samba soccer hooliganery. And then the night just went all over the place from there. In the absence of DJ-as-God pretense, there was just hair-on-your-chest music to make you dance. It was feel-good, dressed-down, non-glam house music, hot and hasty in your joints like you haven't heard in a long time. The anchors of the show were definitely the celebrity pieces from Remedy (Astralwerks) like the flamer "Rendez-Vu" (which made vocodering a trip before Cher took it to hell), instant knees-up anthem...
...Lindsay, as she slipped away, that she saw "nothing" beyond--Lindsay is questioning the justness of the world and her own place in it. Cardellini captures her simmering outrage with just the right mixture of sarcasm, melancholy and self-righteousness. And she's only one among the well-imagined, glam-free nerds and burnouts in this high-spirited, heartfelt story set in 1980. Amid TV's endless regatta of 1,000-watt, magazine-cover-ready superteens, NBC has created a rich, character-driven ensemble show, fueled by Styx music and outsiders' gallows humor, that's more Richard Linklater than Kevin...

Pop culture references abound; Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Madonna, Simon and Garfunkel, Andy Warhol and even Joh F. Kennedy. turn up somewhere, some of them slightly veiled by changed names. Rushdie's novel even had a rock band record its title song...
...tackles with aplomb, yielding a few entertaining bits of satire. His celebrities are drugged up, swaggering, stylized and often foolish. Through Vina and her famous friends, Rushdie shows us how fame is often unfulfilling, lonely and trifling. Andy Warhol's cultured set is brilliantly satirized, as is the delirious glam-rock movement that yielded Iggy Pop and David Bowie. Madonna Sangria is also skillfully caricatured and probably the reason why the real-life Madonna shredded her advance copy of the book...
