DeRo and Kot Host "The Kids Are Alright"

The hosts of Sound Opinions, the world's only rock'n'roll talk show, are back with the third in an ongoing series showcasing great rock films. This time around join Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot as they screen, The Kids Are Alright, the classic 1979 Who documentary by Jeff Stein. Candid and insightful and kind of a mess (much like the band), the Kids Are Alright screens next Thursday, February 7th at 7:30pm at the Music Box. Tickets are 10 bucks and can be purchased by clicking here. Once again, after the show, the famed critics will host their own candid and insightful Q & A session.
