A good one! I don't really care about the music. It's just good young kids see a real band, maybe start playing and maybe grow further into better bands. You have to start somewhere.
A fun story, but maybe difficult to understand for people outside The Netherlands, but you'll get it when I reach Robbie Williams and Justin Bieber. We had a band here in the eighties called Doe Maar. White guys, not that young, nor pretty, playing ska songs with Dutch lyrics about the A Bomb, smoking pot, etc. Serious guys, but it was like Beatlemania. Screaming girls only, and after some years it was too much for the band. Still every year, Dutch teenagers discover The Doors, Bob Marley, and Doe Maar. The lead singer and bass player Henny Vrienten became a serious pop guy, a movie composer, he is regarded as the Dutch Paul McCartney, and he sadly died last year.
When Doe Maar played the biggest Dutch rock festival Pinkpop in the eighties it was a bit of a controversy. Serious music lovers hated that boy band being on their festival. So they got boo'd, things thrown at them, the lot. Some 30 years later, they played Pinkpop again and now of course they were national heritage, all pop snobs and purists loved it.
Same happened years later with Robbie Williams. Fruit and eggs were thrown at him (He kicked some fruit out of the air with a flying kick! Awesome) and all the haters went to see his stadium concerts later and he became a serious musician.
Some years after that Bieber played Pinkpop. And again a contorversy. When I reminded people to Doe Maar and Robbie Williams, they wouldn't listen.
