Confession:  I never wished my parents a divorce.  They're still together.
But.....I got dragged to Protestant church every Wednesday & Sunday
(sometimes *twice* on Sundays!).  That's what really fucked me up.  Or 
set me straight.  Whichever way you wanna look at it.  Also, having a semi-
rebellious older brother really helped, too (big Zep fan, but still, owned
two Who albums).

Aw, c'mon, Jeff.  I liked Kiss, too!  Big time.  Still do, in a nostalgic sorta way.
And while I wasn't in the Kiss Army like you (<cough> loser!), they *are* re-
sponsible for getting my ass seriously into rock music, *and* collecting records.
That guarantees them a respectable & honorable mention in any kind of self-grat-
ifying, self-history I conjure up.

And you're right.  KISS ALIVE I *does* rule!  "Parasite," "Deuce," "She,"....
C'mon....
