Never was much of a fan. But they are the ONLY huge act to give detroit real respect. 45 years. 1974 - 2019. Game Over. Really this was for bobbi, but i figured I should take some time to learn about the band rather than just blindly walk into the concert I had to rob peter to pay paul for (so bobbi could go who is even more poor than I am) I had zero real interest. But I knew she would be sad FOREVER if she didn't get to go. Ended up dropping the cynicism about KISS and just enjoy it for what it is. A throwback to an earlier time when rock music was transtioning from one form to another. These guys pioneered a lot of what we have now. But, themselves kept their style and did not change with the times to sell records. Strangely that WORKED. I've never seen such a diverse crowd. 70 year olds in the same hallway with packs of 16 year old girls dressed in full kiss makeup? That is how you rake in the C A S H. lol They are good musicians (sorry if you don't agree you have never played an instrument seriously) Paul Stanley (usually the lead singer) is also a trained in Opera singer. They have this whole other aspect to them that is either embraced or ridiculed, that is they are old-school leave-it-all-on-stage OG rock god style showmen. The pyrotechnics the hydro (complicated lifts) and various other aspects take a ton of prep work and practice beyond the years and years of musical practice. Is that good? Well it's a extremely high skill bar, even if it isn't your cup of tea. Takes serious dedication to pull off. Especially on a grueling schedule, and every member of the band hovering around 60+ years old. I'm doing this while I wait for the HOUR DAMN LONG video to process / backup / upload. Been waiting almost 2 hours.

I'm saving dollars for Halloween in New Orleans, and because of the expense of my new diet, I'm also saving for another deep freezer and a buffalo, but only if I can convince them that I don't need it processed by a butcher. $150.00 + $0.50 per pound is retarded and it goes up if I say "Hey! I eat nose to tail, I want all the fat and bones too! Well... you can keep the intestines."

What Tron said. Don't ever EVER doubt how much you matter. It's not stupid that you mentioned it. It's not personal in the way you might think it is. Not to me. You matter.
