Letters

About 1989 i wrote to the kiss fan address on the back of one of their cassettes, told them about the day i went to my buddys to go help him work on his 1957 danelectro bring it back to life from flood damage. my friend lived on this mountain overlooking a state park and on the road below was a hangout for teens in the parking lot, its kinda hard tuning a antique guitar with rap music blaring from that parking lot about 90ft below, so we decieded to hook up a couple mic's to a boombox and feed in some kiss dressed to kill through a couple of crate amps, we mustof played about 4 hours of kiss tunes that night at nearly full power. the next day, my buddy calls me up and says that the rap music has stopped and all the kids down in the vally parking lot are cranking out KISS tunes from their cars! about 1990 i get a phone call from a guy claiming to be eric carr from kiss, at first i thought it was one of my friends screwing around, until he read my letter back. he was the coolest guy to talk with we talked about everything from music to astronomy. it was like i knew him all my life. he assured me that KISS will be playing from wheelchairs in their old age. Eric Carr was the most excellent human being in the world. ROCK ON ERIC CARR!
