Let us all remember the innocent victims of the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. Tthirteen years ago, that carnage unified this country more than ever behind the principles of individual freedoms this country was founded on. We should stand united and pledge that those whose political or religious doctrine is based on the destruction of those who do not believe as they do, must fail and fall.
 

By David Brown / Yahoo Sports Hey, New York Yankees fans! You wanted the best tribute yet to captain Derek Jeter, now you got the best! In a video that surely answers the question "Why not?" more so than "Why?" Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group KISS has honored Jeter, the Yankees icon who is retiring at season's end. Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer taped a message for Jeter that presumably has been or will be played at Yankee Stadium in the final days of Jeter's career. It's typically bombastic, yet earnest. "Hey Yankees fans," Stanley says. "We know something about longevity; After all, we've been doing this 40 years!" And then Simmons spoke and stuck his tongue out: "Hey, Derek, congratulations on 20 great years in pinstripes. You're a powerful and attractive man!"

You and a guest could win a trip to see Kiss like you�ve never seen them before � in the intimate confines of The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas this November!

That�s right, the hottest band in the land is creating �Kiss Rocks Vegas,� a special new stage show just for their limited �sin city� engagement, which runs from Nov. 5 to 23. And Ultimate Classic Rock, Loudwire, Noisecreep and AEG Live are teaming up to give you the once in a lifetime opportunity to be among the first to see it.

�Whatever you�re used to with Kiss, this will pump it up that much more,� guitarist Paul Stanley promises USA Today. �If Kiss is on steroids, this is a double dose.�

This getaway prize package includes a pair of tickets to the Nov. 7 �Kiss Rocks Vegas� concert, dinner for two at 35 Steaks & Martinis, a two-night stay at the Hard Rock Hotel (Nov. 6-7), a $500 gift card for travel or shopping, PLUS a pre-show personal photograph opportunity with Kiss!

Tickets for all of the �Kiss Rocks Vegas� shows are available right now through AXS.com. Oh, and if you�re still thinking Kiss will have to reduce the amount of firepower they put into their typical arena-rattling shows, think again. �Usually, going into a smaller venue means eliminating things,� Stanley explains. �The great thing about going into the Joint, it gives us the opportunity to add. When you have a permanent installation, you�re not breaking down every night to travel. So we can do things we wouldn�t normally do. Here, we�re in the enviable position of being able to do a Kiss show that we haven�t been able to do. We will pack 10 pounds of gunpowder into a five-pound bag.�

On this day in KISSTORY - September 10, 1975, KISS released their legendary ALIVE album. This double live album, recorded largely in Detroit's Cobo Arena (with some material from Iowa, New Jersey and Ohio), marked the pivotal giant step towards achieving domination in the 70's.

The multi-platinum album peaked at #9, and spent 110 weeks on the album charts.

"We wanted to put out a souvenir, almost like when you go to the circus," said Paul Stanley. "I really enjoy myself onstage, prancing around, shaking my ass, shaking my head, playing the guitar between my legs. I enjoy it as much as the audience. Basically, I am entertaining myself up there."
