OT - Kiss Does the 1976 Cadillac HS Homecoming
This gives a whole new perspective on the value of RAWK music and is absolutely priceless. At ESPN's Page 2, the story of how in 1976 Kiss visited Cadillac for the Cadillac HS homecoming.
Yeah, this is real.
Yeah, this is real.
Did you see the part where they said something to the effect of "Gene Simmons head a special relationship with the captain of the cheerleading team..." and kind of left it at that? Was there some salacious subtext to that bit of info?
While Stanley was busy throwing the ball around, Gene Simmons was making friends with head cheerleader Melissa Codden. "[Simmons] was interesting because he was interested in what I had to say and when you're 16 not many people are interested in what you have to say."
As they flew away in the helicopter before they left Gene came over and picked her up in his arms and said "I could take you home with me right now" (girl was 16) and her father was standing nearby overheard in his cop uniform and said "over my dead body". They promptly continued running to the helicopter.
Great story... thanks for sharing.
This is an incredibly strange story. I can't imagine one of the biggest current bands today doing something like this.
Gene Simmons is still a total prick.
Having grown up in the area I am quite certain this is the most exciting thing to happen in Cadillac in the last 35 years, and maybe the most exciting thing ever.
and they still suck now. But regardless, it was a hilarious story. Especially watching Simmons try to make off with that pert little blond cheerleader.
she ever slept with.
