In these days of social software, band interaction with their fans is a
given. Four decades ago, it was far less commonplace. Yet the Who
handed over the reins to a persistent, devoted teenage fan to make a
documentary about them. That he managed to show what made the band so
fun and fantastic is why the film still matters now. Jim DeRogatis and
Greg Kot co-host a special screening of the result, 1979's The Kids Are Alright, followed by a
Q & A.
