BESIDES THE BEATLES, BEACH BOYS AND THE STONES, one of my earlier memories from the mid-70s of favourite bands was KISS: rock ‘n’ roll sing-a-longs (ie. “Shout It Out Loud”), painted-face alter-egos, far-out costumes, fire-breathing and cool explosions. Although it’s kinda cool to have seen the band’s longevity through several line-up changes, the ever-present four-stringed-muthafucka probably should stay out of the educational system and go back to living the life of his flagrant cartoon character.
Christ almighty!
