Wiggles break up

I stumbled across beingdaddy.com this morning after seeing a Google for “being +daddy” in my site logs. It hasn’t been updated since November but there’s a humorous (Well, if you know who The Wiggles are. And you have a toddler. And perhaps you’ve been to one of their concerts. And you are easily amused.) article on the front page titled “Wiggles Wiggle Out Of Wiggles."


Mehr's article also exposed keyboardist Jeff Fatt's drug addictions. "At first it was just ludes," Mehr reported. "But soon he was popping so much, Fatt was falling asleep on stage. The audience would actually have to shout to wake him up. The group tried to make it seem just part of the act � a big joke � but it was really starting to be a problem."

However, if you look at it carefully, it has a certain familiar ring to it, especially for those of us boomers. Try this: Instead of Greg, Anthony, Murray and Jeff, try substituting John, Paul, George, and Ringo (and even Yoko). The article basically takes the facts of the Beatle’s breakup and throws in the name of the Wiggles. Not to worry, folks, the Wiggles are alive and well and making TONS of money. They even have a tour in the US this year, which you can find on ticketmaster.com. Steve “The Debunker”
