Interesting Facts

Gene Simmons also bedded his first of 4,000-plus groupies after the band's Edmonton gig.
"The first place we went was South Edmonton in Alberta, and I had my first authentic groupie, a girl with green and purple hair,"
he writes in his autobiography, KISS and Make-Up.
"She didn't know who KISS was. We were just a rock band. I grabbed her, and she spent the night with me. I was in heaven. This girl was spending the night with me just because I was in a band. No courting, no relationships, no dates, no 'what does it all mean?' The very thing that women want out of a relationship is this kind of heaviness of 'life and meaning.' All I wanted was no meaning. Twenty-four hours of experiencing life with a warm female body."
KISS record radio IDs for CHED-630 in Edmonton during their visit. This may well be the band's first radio appearance.
