Letters

The first time I heard of KISS was in Brooklyn in the 70's; I was in grade school with my best friend. We heard them on a radio interview. My friend called in and was lucky enough to get through; introduced herself and the guys started singing "Cecilia you're breaking my heart"--as was her name. I remember listening to their albums in my riend's basement in Bensonhurst. Have lost touch as life gets more complicated with career,family and kids--until the past couple of years with "Gene Simmon's Family Jewels." Have rediscovered KISS; although have seen them at Jones Beach 2x in the past decade. Saw episode where Gene has lunch at Jonathan's with his mom(I frequently stop at that street corner light on my daily drive home from work) imagining them eating by the window table. Gene had his tests and interventions at NS-LIJ Hospital for his cardiac issues; to the same docs who I have referred patients to( I am a geriatric nurse practitioner who work at a health care facility in NHP,NY) and who my husband has worked with (he was a cardiac critical care nurse at that hospital.). I play the KISS cds loud with the windows open. All in all it has come full circle; enjoying the group's sounds and shows(will be attending the Aug show at Jones Beach again with my family--hopefully in full KISS makeup!!)-- just wanted to request you play "Radioactive"--something about that song-- I replay it 3-4x in a row when i listen to it---- SEE YOU AT JONES IN AUGUST!!! gwen/fred/kids
