Sounds Like
A 70's rocker party being crashed by Gen-X grungers whilst Beck does poetry and Bowie does mime in a cod-piece.
Former frontman of local bands Wheeler and Seed gets bored of doing a real job, gains three stone (then loses it again mountain biking hurrah!), picks up an acoustic and goes it alone. Along the way he ropes in half of his old band(s), but now they operate under his totalitarian regime; like the subservient bitches they so truly are.
