As the brief recounts, the high school football team in Cadillac were losing continually. The coach noted the kids seemd to like KISS and began naming plays after their tunes and using the music to motivate the players. They go 7-2 and attribute their success to KISS. KISS catches wind and wants to come to town for the following years homecoming. they fly in, spend a day with city officialsa nd have a parade through town and then play at the homecoming dnace. The next day they are given the key to the city and work the high schol football crowd before being helicoptered out. anectdotally, my KISS freak buddy tells me the chopper went only a short way before setting them down to hop in limos to the next concert stop. Apparently they couldn't really yet afford the helicopter. After all it was only 1975 and they wouldn't conquer the world in toto for another couple of years. The rest is Kisstory!! Great document of a uniquely American band rsponsible for creating a phenemenon and changing the way bands market themselves. Plus they f*cking rock!! Loads of fun!! Look for Kissology Vol I on Haloween. Pax
