Letters

Dearest Gene, Paul, Tommy, and Eric Thank-you for over 35 years of being the greatest band in thee world!! You have always been a true inspiration to me and now my two beautiful daughters! NO drugs/ partying here! Your music is all we need! Five years ago for the "Rock the Nation" tour, I went all out and worked to purchase a ticket to meet the four of you after Gene posted a letter honoring my beloved mother. Truly the greatest night of my life...and when things get tough all I need to do is remember those moments talking to each and everyone of you! I am so grateful that I got to meet each of you personally and thank-you for what you have meant to me! And you chose me as one of three fans in the dvd- I'm still in awe of that honor! It obviously clear that the four of you truly care about each other and keeping the KISS dream alive and rocking. Yes, Peter and Ace where charter members as well as Eric, Bruce, Vince, and Mark and they all deserve that respect. But, its been clear for years that the four of you are the true KISS! You truly admire and respect each other- it shows in the music, the shows, Sonic Boom, and the enthusiasm as well as camaraderie between all of you!!! It is also commendable that you have chosen Wal-Mart to give your millions of fans exactly what they want at a price that is unheard of- in these economic times, this is greatly appreciated! I was quite fortunate to attend the Philadelphia show last evening- I was blinded, deafened, and pummeled to the ground as promised! EVERY fan leaving the building commented "they are EVERYTHING I ever hoped for" "I couldn't have asked for any better or any more" "They really outdid themselves", etc. Making my night complete is knowing this was my birthday and my all time faves "Strutter" and "Let me go rock n' roll" were played just for me.... as well as thousands of others! You gentlemen have outdone yourselves yet again! Its true- NO other band has fans as dedicated as the KISS army- we all bleed the colors. And its even more true- NO band gives the fans the shows, cds, dvds, goodies, and most importantly love and respect that KISS does. And for that, I thank-you for the bottom of my heart- I hope and pray that you guys truly realize how MUCH you mean to MILLIONS and especially to me! I can never repay you for what you mean and I will be cherishing every concert and the hugs I was fortunate enough to receive for the rest of my life. May your lives always be fulfilled with love and dreams that have come true...may you continue to rock on as long as you chose...be safe and have fun... long live KISS and KISS army...you are all a dream come true..the American dream! Love and KISSes Kelli Selinsgrove PA
