The kids are alright.
Published: February 27, 2024
Not only are The Whom family kids alright they are getting in tune for the massive Who tribute event that is looming ever closer like a road runner on speed. Mounted by long-time fans of The Who, The Whom — The Kids Are Alright will be presented by The Whom family of demented rockers and is a respectful recreation of some Who classic tunes and stuff like that. Respectful and dignified.
While the Whom family are the second (or possibly the third) to agree they are no substitute for the real Who (subjective with so many absent real Whooers), they do their best to recreate the orgasmic spectacle of a real Who blowout.
Although the rumour that Peter Bellend will smash a perfectly good guitar on stage is gaining traction let me assure you he will not be doing this — he is, instead smashing the Goodwood Theatre organ, keyboard, pipes, tympani and the octogenarian organ master as well who says, quote: “Im really looking forward to it; I haven’t had me bones rattled since I shagged Marylin Mungbean in 1968 when she was doing her Fringe show there”!
The scurrilous chatter about Roger d’Poultry is also not quite true — he does not do it to live chickens.
It is also not true that John Twatwhistle will snort a whole powdered hooker up his hooter and die with a monstrous stiffy. His stiffy is not monstrous — I’ve seen it. With a microscope. Think: Enoki Mushroom!
Keith Mooner will attend if his court case for indecent exposure out the back of a bus window to a Kiwani’s coach full of pensioners goes in his favour.
And Billy Rabbit-o ( forgot about him, didden ya?) will not be drinking five litres of metho and lighting a bong on stage. There are H&S restrictions about smoking in the theatre. He will be doing that in the laneway outside as a prelude to the performance.
Even if none to this happens it’s going to be a great show and I will be buying tickets to see it. In fact, I already have.
And so should you and any mad Whooters out there who want to hear some great music. Or those gen X-Y-Zedders who want to gawp at the extraordinary extravaganza of a bunch of middle-aged fukkers carrying on like they were kids again with the first guitars and a packet of old-school Codral with the caffeine pellet inside.
The Whom — The Kids Are Alright. The Arts Theatre, Sunday March 10.
It’s part of the Fringe Festival. Look it up. Use the alien AI thingy to go to another dimension to book tickets.

It will be good so just fukkin’ do it! Now!! I haven’t got all day to sit around writing this shit for you!
