At a recent concert, Aussie band Frenzal Rhomb played a set. At the end, Jackie O (of Popstars and Kyle & Jackie O’s Hot 30 infamy) was to introduce Shannon Noll as the next act. When she came onstage, Frenzal continued playing guitars and yelling obscenities about Australian Idol and Shannon. No matter how rude you may think this was, it doesn’t justify threats of violence. In fact, rudeness is all part of rock n roll. This is the transcript of a subsequent on-air discussion between Jackie O, Kyle Sandilands and Frenzal Rhomb's Whalley:
Sandilands: Just let me say, if it was me up there, it would have been on for young and old from the start.
Whalley: Okay, now for a start, I'd just like to say, Jackie - … were you aware that one of your security guards threatened our guitar tech with the threat of violence - as you're doing now Kyle, "it would have been on for young and old" as you say.
Sandilands: Yeah, yep.
Whalley: Did you know about that?
Jackie O: Yeah.
Whalley: That security guard came up and threatened us with actual violence? Do you endorse that?
Jackie O: What, what was...
Sandilands: Yes, well I do.
Whalley: You do? You endorse that? You would have come and punched on because we said something about Popstars and Australian Idol?
Kyle and Jackie O: No!
Jackie O: It wasn't about Popstars and Australian Idol.
Whalley: Because you felt that somehow we'd offended you, or not given you enough time to speak up. You were nine hours late for your show...
Jackie O: Well f**k mate, at least give me a chance to say something. Like, it's so rude to just come in and say f**k you, f**k Jackie O and play the guitar over me. I was only going to talk for like, ten seconds, seriously.

This is not the Middle East or the US. Australia is a mostly peaceful country to live in. Let’s keep it that way. Kyle and Jackie O are rolemodels to many young people (I know because I have cassette compilations I made called “Queen Jackie O” and “Ugly Phil, King of all”) and currently they are setting a violent example.
I urge you to send one of the following emails to Kyle and Jackie c/o
