Periodically I would like to recommend a "song of the day" or some musical influence that you may or may not enjoy.
One song that has been on my mind for quite some time now (thanks to the blessing of The Reverend Dave Gil) is "Deuce" by Kiss... "YOU KNOW YOUR MAN IS WORKIN HARD. HE'S WORTH A DEUCE." Yes, the painted ones hailing from Detroit. If you haven't seen Kissology, the DVD that was released last year, add it to your list. IT'S GOLD. PURE GOLD. I mean, who here got to see them in their prime? When they were considered "evil" and a bad influence of the youth of 197... When was that Dave? Trust me, it's worth the viewing. Gene Simmons doing his demonic parody, Ace Frehely with smoking guitar and Peter Chris singing Black Diamond? What's not to love? Of course there is the rhymless banter of Paul Stanley, but this is part of the beauty. These guys were to first to do what they did... are doing. So many acts have followed and immitated, it's countless. The music is bizarre and you may not be a fan. But it is so unique to them and only them... Loud. Rude. Simple. RocknRoll.

Saw the painted ones, (from NYC!) in 77.
They were still "scary" but POST mega-success, so not as "hungry"...but still PRE "I was made for Lovin' you..." It was huge..H-U-G-E. The "lovegun" tour.
