I've been listening to Hotter than Hell in the car a lot lately. "Strange Ways" always kills me. You know, it was only recently that I realized that it's Peter Criss, not Ace Frehley, singing that tune. It's got Ace written all over it, and he wrote it, so I wonder why he didn't sing it. Maybe he wasn't ready to do lead vocals yet. Bad-ass tune, though, with a SICK backwards solo. The phrasing works out perfectly, but it has that distinctive backwards freaky sound. I dig "Watchin' You" too. For some reason I never realized how cool that song is until I finally saw KISS in concert back in '96. Egad, that's seven and a half years ago, and I had already been listening to them for almost 20 years at that point. Call me Methuselah.

I hate when I dream about things going on in real life. I wanna dream about . . . heck, I dunno, crazy shit, like riding mopeds and smoking reefer with the Banana Splits. But all I can dream about lately is stuff that's already on my mnd all day long. Like, you know, the pressing concerns in the poll below. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I'm so clueless I thought Hotter Than Hell was an Ace Frehley solo album until I clicked the link.

No way! You gotta brush up, son--your hipness factor just went down a notch! Wait, not being totally versed in KISS history probably gives you extra points in most circles... ;)
