You know I remember a time when the only classy thing that ever happened in Blacktown was well, umm, nothing. That's right nothing. Class is something Blacktown didn't have a lot of. That is until Westfields came to town and changed everything for the local "Westies". Yes that's right, "Westies", not "Bogans" that is Melbournian terminology which has been adopted into our Sydney vernacular by those Prada wearing, cafe latte sipping, Mercedes 4WD driving Mexicans who have never lived in the Western Suburbs of Sydney and only purport to know the truth of what a truly localised Westie really was. Frankly a "Westie" was a flannelet wearing hoon, who drove a rather large car, had their name - "Waaaayyynnneee" screetched at them by a girl named "Raylene" and attended Blue Light Disco's pissed on Passion Pop and yelled as loud as possible the lyrics "Head Suck" to the Radiators. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bkKb3KEda0 all done whilst diligently trying to not spew up the meat pie with sauce consumed for dinner at the Doonside Hotel.
So after many years of reformation in Blacktown, thanks largely to the ever corporate responsible Westfields the people of Blacktown will finally have their "day" of culture tomorrow. Yes that's right, that "ye olde" violinist pin up boy with the sympathetic to Blacktown mullet will tread the boards of the illustrious Westpoint Blacktown Shopping Centre stage. Though I guess Andre will be selling many copies of his CD's, DVD's, boardgames, lunch boxes, and lookalike dolls I bet the real reason he is performing at Westpoint is to no doubt brag to his friends and marvel at gracing the stage of such spectacular past stars who have gone before him like, Nikki Webster, The cast of YTT, and of course Santa.
So for a suburb so rarely known as the capital of culture with a C, Blacktown it would seem may finally be able to wash away their Kulture with a K status and start afresh when Andre takes to the stage to rid them of the sins of Radiators past. Like a baptism from the fires of hell its amazing how when you once said you thought it would never happen "until hell froze over" that Blacktwon would one day become culture central then one only needs to rug up and head to Blacktown Westpoint at 2pm tomorrow to watch the icicles form upon the worst haircut in showbiz and the penguins slide on in as Mr Andre Rier does his best to inject some much needed culture into a town so deserved.
