Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! This week on Asylum – Tales from the Devereaux Diaries Podcast, the Kousins talk about the 1987 film, Trick or Treat starring Marc Price (who was Skippy in Family Ties), Doug Savant (from Melrose Place), Ozzy Osbourne as a priest (if you can believe that) and Gene Simmons in a really believable role of…
Salutations™!! Tonight on Asylum – Tales from the Devereaux Diaries podcast, we continued our love and admiration for Gene on his birthday by picking our top three favorite Gene roles, either film or television. For me, it was easy because I’ve only really seen three movies he had a role in, that I remember. But,…
Salutations™!! I wanted to take a minute to wish my idol, my reason for being a musician, my reason to be an entertainer, and how I got the confidence to do what I do. The Demon, Chaim Witz, Gene Klein, Gene Simmons. No matter what you call him. I thank him almost every day that…
Salutations™!! I want to wish a very happy birthday to my favorite demon, one of my musical heroes, the reason why I am a musician, the reason I play bass, and the reason I worry so much about putting on a “show.” That demon is Gene Simmons who turns 71 years young and still gets up…

Salutations™!! So, I’m backdating this for yesterday, but full disclosure, I am writing this on Thursday. The internet in our house was out yesterday from around 245p and didn’t come back on until around 10p. Yeah, that’s time to get a blog post in but I had everything else I had to get to that…
Salutations™!! Today is the 46th anniversary of KISS. The band started in 1973 but this album came out on February 18, 1974. Only eight months older than its successor, Hotter Than Hell which was only five months before its successor, Dressed To Kill. This isn’t my top KISS album but came in at #3 on my rankings (you can…
Salutations™!! Today is the 45th anniversary of one of my favorite KISS albums, Hotter Than Hell. I liked my writeup from last year and I’m reposting it. … It is one of my faves, for sure. It was one of the first albums I ever got in the 70s and it was one of two…
Yesterday was September 18, which means it’s the biggest release day in KISStory. September 18, 1978, saw all four KISS solo albums (Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, Peter Criss) released. September 18, 1983, saw Lick It Up released. September 18, 1987, saw Crazy Nights released. So, six KISS albums were released on that day. All six of…
Salutations™!! We didn’t get to Underdog Records yesterday due to our travels for the KISS concert. It was 3B’s and The BCPF’s first KISS concert and 3B’s first overall. They had smiles on their face all night long but some of that could have come from watching me. I have seen KISS about 11 times…
Salutations™!! Well, you had to know this one was coming. It’s Sounds Like Saturday time and I’m going to see KISS tonight and taking The BCPF and 3B with me. So, here’s a clip of one of the coolest things you’ll ever see, in concert or ever. At least to this Gene Simmons mark. Enjoy!…
