Oh, what a magnificent tribe, you time-traveling KISS crusaders — the starry-eyed and studded, the tube-topped and acid-washed, young girls with blackened lips and cat-whiskered cheeks, middle-aged dudes with grease-painted faces, monstrous heels and high ponies (sorry, Ariana, but Gene has the most famous high pony in pop music).
While they may no longer party every day, the South Florida legion of the KISS Army came dressed to rock ‘n’ roll all night on Tuesday at the BB&T Center during a raucous concert that opened a new U.S. leg of the End of the Road Tour, which KISS has said will mark its farewell to live performances.
The unfortunate result of the decision is that it will leave the band’s dressed-up fans with no place to go. It is sad to think that the palpable joy which radiated among KISS devotees gathered at the BB&T Center, not to mention the brave fashion, will no longer have a place to be shared.
