printed in authentic KISS blood Continued from page 25 Obviously, the band had already eaten from the looks of the tablecloths. I wish we had. Those left-overs were looking mighty good! But, we were too excited to think about food. We were about to meet the rock idols of our youth. Just looking at where they had eaten was enough. We had a chance to relax so we wouldn ' t trip over our own tongues. Then the moment arrived. The ailing drummer, Eric Singer, walked in first in his JC Penney black terrycloth He made his rounds, and his illness made him forget about his previous experience with Marlene ' s mom the last time he was here. He signed a couple of things for us, ignoring the on the floor. Then Bruce Kulick strolled in. He asked me if I wanted him to sign and I just stood there like a blithering idiot. Then, the man I ' d been waiting to see, the one with the tongue longer than mine ... Gene Simmons arrived. He signed my KISS condom and told me to use it well! Gene hath Paul followed shortly behind. He may be close to my father ' s age, but I could go for an older man if it was him. We tried to keep our cool, and didn ' t fail as badly as we thought we might. Did I look like a fool? Need I ask? They didn ' t stay for very long, because they were running late. What a coincidence. I wonder if Gene would let me borrow his platform boots - they ' d add five inches of height. by jill harn isch and marlene e. naubert above — Singing Forever and Ever, Amen, country music star Randy Travis performs for the Arizona State Fair ' s full house.

Oh yeah, the guys in KISS! OK, so maybe songs like Rock and Roll All Nite” and Lick It Up aren ' t chock full of heavy philosophical metaphors; however, you must agree that KISS is a part of Americana. After all, who could forget such 70s staples as lunchboxes bearing the band ' s likeness, and ...DOLLS! What, you don ' t remember? What abo ut that wonderful TV-movie KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park? And didn ' t every kid on your block just have to own a KISS comic book (printed in authentic KISS blood)? See, you remember. Well, it ' s not like we were members of the KISS Army (fan club) or anything, but when the band made their way to the America West Arena on their most recent tour, we thought we might go and check out the show for nostalgia ' s sake. NOT! We had tickets, dammit, and we were gonna be there! We made our way to Will Call to pick up our tickets, we were late as usual, no thanks to Marlene, and lo and behold, like a gift from God, were two backstage passes left by a friend. We finally found the ticket lobby where we were supposed to meet our friend and waited in the catering room for ...THEM!
