"When I first saw them when I was a little boy they scared the *bleep* out of me. But my favorite song was "Rock and Roll All Nite". I didn't know that was KISS. This is the dude that spits blood! I go 'How can that be?'"

"For years, people have made hilarious assumptions about the "meaning" of the band, or its "message", and by extension, assumptions about the individuals behind the project. To those people I would simply suggest that you familiarize yourself with the notion of a "persona" in a creative work, and stop assuming that the "speaker" of each song is one of the members of the band."
