RIP, Sybil. I named a cat after you and I most certainly never mentioned the war.

That being said…does “fun” alone have a cultural impact? I think not. If we’re going by that metric, the B-52’s would have been granted the honor years ago. I love KISS but they don’t deserve this honor. Enjoy the music, but I can’t find a “cultural impact” argument persuasive. 3/3

End of rant.

I love KISS; been a fan since I first heard “Dressed To Kill”. They possessed limited musical abilities (exception: Ace), rudimentary writing skill, and we won’t even discuss their lyrical acumen. However, they were fun. I never dismiss music based on a “fun” quotient. 2/3

I’ve always considered the Kennedy Center Honors a celebration of cultural impact on America. While I disagree from a musical perspective on a minority of choices (Paul Simon, Carlos Santana), I cannot justify an argument against their cultural contributions 1/3

Sad to see the end of PBS. I discovered so much from them, Masterpiece Theatre, Prime Suspect, Fawlty Towers, Butterflies, The McLaughlin Group, Monty Python and, of course, (if you watched the Buffalo station) endless “Mike & Goldie” jokes based on their enthusiastic earnestness.

45 years ago on this day, the greatest hard rock album in music history was released.

With apologies to Dickinson/Patton/Belladonna fans, is it the greatest lead singer replacement ever as well? - OR

Banger Or Whanger? I say Banger. Yes, it has the dreaded 90’s Eurotrash sheen to it, but Simone Denny’s vocals make it. If this is on your “Cheffing Mix”, chopping celery will never be as danceable - OR 4/6
