KISS - 20 (or 30) years after the fact

Well, I've got to admit that all of the hype leading up to the F1 Grande Final KISS Concert got me quite excited. I mean, I've never been a KISS fan and I was pretty sure I only had ever heard of one song. But in every commercial they played that one song and I was getting pumped. Many of our loyal readers maybe KISS fans and laugh at the fact that people are still seeing them in concert. My dad found it hilarious, but I told him find someone cool you want to see, add 30 years and then they tour in Australia (remember the Police Concert on Australia Day?)

After a hot day in the sun and quite a few Victoria Bitters (Foster's local brew), the time had come. It was packed and people were decked out. They sounded pretty good - especially given how old they are and still in all the make-up so you couldn't really tell the difference. Well time went by and then alot of time and I still didn't recognize a song. The funniest thing they said was, "Well as you can imagine over the decades, many women have thrown their bras on stage. We assume they bring them in their purses and through them up, but this one - this one here is different. It's soaking wet. This is the real thing!!"

She also must have been out all day in the sweltering heat drinking too many VBs. Well, it was getting late and frankly we were a little bored - although the old guy dancing in front of us was pretty hilarious. So funny in fact I took some video, but Sean didn't think it was fair to him to post it. Anyway we decided to leave early. And wouldn't you know it, as we arrived home we could hear them finally singing, IIII WANT TO ROCK AND ROLL ALL NIGHT...AND PARTY EVERY DAY!
