Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Yesterday and last night was a night of epic proportions. I’ll get to that later this week, possibly on the podcast. I’ll have a couple of things to talk about this week on that podcast episode. But, we had breakfast, went to Underdog Records, and I got to see my mom. Here’s the haul:…
Salutations™!! As I’ve said twice this week (three times if you count the Asylum podcast, which I do)… Happy 40th anniversary to my favorite KISS album, Music from The Elder. This was probably the first time I saw them actually performing. It was rough but it was live. Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“Your…
Salutations™!! Time for a new podcast, y’all! Yeah, two in one week. I had stuff to say, I guess. I don’t know if I’ll have stuff to say next week or not. But, it’s the 40th anniversary this week of my favorite KISS album. Hear me talk about it here. Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp…
Salutations™!! Tonight on Asylum – Tales from the Devereaux Diaries, Kousin Gary revealed his KISS ranking. He went strictly by numbers and formulas and only barely by personal feelings. Some of his movements from his previous list were mind-blowing. Inexplicably, he put some of the best KISS albums near the bottom of the list. I…

Salutations™!! Yesterday was the 47th anniversary of KISS’ second album, Hotter Than Hell. It is #6 on my KISS list. I love the album, regardless of whether it sounds like it was recorded in a tiled bathroom or not. I decided instead of a cover, I’d go to the source, but this was from earlier…
Salutations™!! My Kousins and I didn’t necessarily talk about KISS tonight. Well, we did, but that wasn’t the main topic. The main topic was what we call something “KISS Adjacent.” That means that even it isn’t KISS, it’s something that had to do with KISS in some shape or form. This week, the main topic…
Salutations™!! Have you figured out the number combo code above? What may it mean? What will it be? Send me a note, let me know your guess. There’s no prize, but there is an “atta-boy” or “atta-girl” in it for you. On Asylum – Tales of the Devereaux Diaries Podcast this evening, the Kousins talked…
Salutations™!! My Kousins and I took the time today to listen and review Bruce Kulick’s album Audiodog. Bruce Kulick is, of course, our favorite KISS guitarist. This album was his debut solo effort after being unceremoniously excused from KISS. Okay, maybe it was ceremoniously done, we just think that once the “reunion” was over, they…
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™!! Today is a big day in Kisstory. In 1978, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, Peter Criss, and Paul Stanley each released their solo albums as a means to satisfy egos. Within four years Ace and Peter were gone. In 1987, Crazy Nights was released which is possibly the slickest of all KISS albums. It’s a…
