Vince Cosmos: Difference between revisions

◇This gave way to the "invention" of [[Glam Rock]], and Vince let go of his previous band, [[The Extraneous Organs]], and replaced them with a new band, [[The Sky Rockets in Flight]], and together, they released an album called [[Those Crazy Martian Cats]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Biography (short story)|Biography]]'') On [[May Day]] of that year, Vince attended a party at [[Hobbe's End]] hosted by [[Iris Wildthyme]], along with a number of other celebrities. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[From Wildthyme with Love (novel)|From Wildthyme with Love]]'')◇Vince quickly became a household name, in part for his outrageous [[outfit]]s and persona, but his popularity also lead several [[assassination]] attempts. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Biography (short story)|Biography]]'')◇It was believed that one such attempt was when he suffered from a near-fatal [[shooting]] at the [[Hammersmith Odeon]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Biography (short story)|Biography]]'') in [[1973]]. The truth of the assassination actually involved a pair of [[Martian Time Agents]] who were sent to assassinate Vince by [[Anthony Marvelle]], but this was foiled when [[Simon (Enter Wildthyme)|Simon]] and [[Panda]] warned Vince of the imminent attack, and Panda scared off the Martians due to there being an ancient [[legend]] of a panda who arrived in a [[Celestial Omnibus|scarlet chariot]] on [[Mars]]. Later, Vince invited Simon and Panda to an after party in gratitude. However, according to this account, these events were in an [[alternate reality]], and that in [[N-Space|Simon's universe]], this was the final retirement performance of Vince Cosmos. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Enter Wildthyme (novel)|Enter Wildthyme]]'') Another assassination attempt on Vince's life was supposed to happen while Vince was performing in front of [[Princess Margaret]], but the explosives only went off after everybody left. Vince began making public statements about the existence of [[Meercock|Martians]] and the dangers they presented, but these were dismissed as everybody believed that Vince was becoming [[paranoia|paranoid]] and was failing to distinguish fact from fiction.◇After a "series of weird [[accident]]s, [[finance|financial]] [[disaster]]s, sackings and behind-the-scenes [[drama]]s", and the steady decline of Glam Rock as a genre, Vince and his band moved to the [[USA]] to perform, but this also ended in disaster. Shortly, Vince funded an entire [[The Diachronic Messiah|movie]], but it flopped and was ill-received.
