Lately, I have been discovering that I really like Kiss, after all. This after having spentthe last few years proclaiming my hatred for them. Okay, Brian McKinney and Kenny Rice. I was wrong.
Okay. So the above is actually a song from Ace Frehley’s solo album. You know what? I like that, too.

Ace Frehley and Peter Criss are again kicked out of the band. Gene Simmons is featured on his own reality TV show. And Paul Stanley has a solo song being used as the soundtrack for World of Warcraft on South Park:
Yes, I’d have to wager that in the grand scheme of popular culture, the halcyon days of Kiss are forever passed. It seems like the perfect time to rediscover them — there’s nothing like becoming a fan of something that you’ve hated most of your life, but waiting to do it until there’s very little chance of scoring any cool points whatsoever in the process.
I’m going to write more about this later, but right now I have to go do some other things, such as sleep. However, here are a couple of more things I wanted to share, having found them since embracing my inner Star Child. Just because they’re funny:
cool points duly noted and hereby inscribed in the KISS ARMY of Powell County’s sacred “better late than never” section. congrats aaron good things come to those who rock out!!!
forgot to add- my son came as i was commenting and saw that his dad and his “Uncle” Brian have been immortalized in a blog entry and I too have scored cool points do to the awsome power of KISS!!
