    Speaking in Tongues: The Cola Origin Story

    The Cola Corporation wouldn't exist without apostolic religion, specifically the United Pentecostal Church. The Church says no to everything: no school dances, no playing sports, no attending sporting events, no secular music, etc. This left young Cola feeling alienated from his peers at public school, until one day in sixth grade when Cola learned the importance of clothing, and found his way into the world.

    Episode 5: Swastikas and Safety Pins (1970s UK punk / "England's Dreaming" review)

    Cola looks at the dress and politics of 1970s punk, focusing on the use of swastikas as fashion accessories. We consider the merits of using the Nazi symbol to attack English bourgeois mythology and comment on the commercialization of Nazism during the Hitler Wave of the 1970s. Focusing on the book "England's Dreaming" by Jon Savage, we talk about Vivienne Westwood and Malcom McLaren (and their clothing shop SEX), as well as the Sex Pistols, Siouxsie Sioux, the New York Dolls, and many others.
