Deep
philosophical questions indeed. The Who were that type of band –
funny, furious and filosophical.....
Welcome
to episode 73 of See Hear Podcast.
Tim,
Bernie and Maurice welcome back Marvellous Mike White of The
Projection Booth Podcast to discuss the 1979 Who “documentary”
The Kids Are Alright” (not to be confused with the 2010 film with
Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo). Jeff Stein's film is certainly not
a documentary in the traditional sense (no chronology, no talking
heads retrospectively outlining the history). It IS a celebration of
who The Who were up to Keith Moon's death. It shows their
ferociousness and humour as a band....so in that sense, even if we
discover little about the events that shaped them, by film's end, we
know what made them great.
The
crew discuss the film, their own connections to The Who's music,
sensationalism versus art, Pete's penchant for beating up people on
stage, Keith's habit of destroying hotel rooms, and many other
Who-vian peripherals.
Is
the show worth tuning into? You better, you bet......
