Let Me Go Rock and Roll After purchasing tix for my family (wife, daughter and myself) early this summer, we knew it would be a long wait to see our favorite band at the Minnesota State Fair - but one that would be well worth it. Months of anticipation were derailed when only five days before the scheduled show I was hit with an emergency appendicitis. As I was being prepped for surgery I asked the doctor what the odds were of me making it to Minnesota for the KISS show that weekend....his response was simply 'you're not'. Surgery monday night, and left 8pm Tuesday night. Determined to not disappoint my family or myself, I rested and followed doctors orders to the letter. At my followup appt. Thursday, he commented on how far I had come and how well I seem to be doing...but stopped just short of giving the clear to make the 5 hour drive from Wisconsin to Minnesota for the Hottest Show On Earth. He phoned me one more time Friday just to make sure I was progressing and finally, thankfully told me to take extra care and have a great time at the show. And that's exactly what we did! The show rocked.....one of the best of the many times I have seen KISS. I made it through thanks to the help and support of my wife and daughter, and I truly believe in the healing power of rock and roll! Thanks to my wife Jennifer, daughter Carly, and to KISS...for this year and all the years. Never stop rockin!
