The Great Musician's Concert tour is 10x your tourism at the time it's born/bought.
<OneShotTourism>10</OneShotTourism>
<OneShotTourismPercentOthers>20</OneShotTourismPercentOthers>

The Great Writer's Political Treatise is your last 8 turns worth of culture.
<BaseCultureTurnsToCount>8</BaseCultureTurnsToCount>

So basically Writer's bomb works on culture the same way the Scientist's bulbing works on research.
<BaseBeakersTurnsToCount>8</BaseBeakersTurnsToCount>
 
Does this mean that a GW will be more powerful if born after a Golden Age?

Tourism strength from Great Musicians is determined when they are born, but the GW'S culture bonus from the treatise depends on the last eight turns bevor the ability is activated. If you anticipate that your culture output is going to significantly rise in the near future and don't need another great work of writing, you should save the GW for later use.
They become really powerful if you have 'won' the World's Fair and get the time limited 100% culture bonus. I got a GW shorly after the bonus ran out and the Political Treatise gave me a bit more than 10.000 :c5culture: (when my next policy cost ~ 7000 :D ). Had I known this at the time, I would have saved some faith and bought one or two additional GWs.
