HELLO MR. GENE SIMMONS: I RECENTLY TOOK MY 83yr. OLD MOTHER (AT HER REQUEST) TO YOUR KISS CONCERT AT THE TURNING STONE IN VERONA, N.Y. AT HER REQUEST, I HAD HER FACE PAINTED LIKE YOU(GENE) AND KEPT A WELL SUPPLY OF RED FOOD COLORING FOR HER TONGUE. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE TURNING STONE, I PROCEEDED TO WHEEL MY MOTHER INSIDE IN HER WHEELCHAIR. ANYBODY THAT EVEN MADE ANY KIND OF EYE CONTACT WITH MY MOTHER, MY MOTHER WOULD STICK HER TONQUE OUT AND HOLD UP HER FINGERS. I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU THAT FROM THAT MOMENT ON, MY MOTHER WAS A CELEBRITY(ROCK STAR). IT TOOK ME 1HR. AND A HALF TO GO UP ONE FLOOR WITH MY MOTHER. PEOPLE WHERE TAKING HER PICTURE, FAMILY PICTURES AND PEOPLE POSING WITH HER. WHEN WE FINALLY ARRIVED TO THE 2ND FLOOR FOR THE CONCERT, WE WERE RUSHED FROM THE CROWD BY SOME EMPLOYEE WHO RESCUED US THROUGH A SIDE DOOR. JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT WE WERE SAFE, WE WALKED THROUGH A DOOR TOWARDS THE DISABLED SEATING, AND A ROAR OF PEOPLE STOOD UP, CHEERING AND CLAPPING AT MY MOTHER. IT WAS AS IF THEY WERE WAITING FOR HER. I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU MR. SIMMONS, THAT IF EVERY 83YR. OLD PERSON COULD GET THE ATTENTION MY MOTHER RECEIVED THAT NIGHT, NO ELDERLY PERSON WOULD EVER BE LONELY. THANKS AGAIN FOR MAKING MY MOTHER A "ROCK STAR."
