turn up to ten

and another good thing about having all this time on my hands...a chance to rediscover kiss. i used to love them. my friend paul from grade four loved them so much that he actually got his hair permed to look just like paul stanley - in grade four! (i wonder if i'll be that cool as a parent to let my kid look like paul stanley...?) i used to think that gene simmons was actually cooler but i'm not sure anymore... actually one of my favourite memories of working at indigo at the eaton centre was one morning before we opened when kim came in and as soon as she got into the music section she put on kiss's greatest hits...i proposed to her on the spot. (i also remember that nobody else was old enough to really know anything about kiss...) oh yeah and she laughed off my offer of matrimonial bliss...in her defense she was either engaged or married at the time...also i think sarah might have laughed off my offer of matrimonial bliss too the first eight times...
ok but check out these kiss lyrics (i actually prepared for this blog post)

"turn it up
hungry for the medecine
2 fisted
til the very end
no more
treated like aliens
we're not gonna take it
no lies
no more alibis
turn it up
got me hypnotized
rock on
won't be tranquillized..."

and

"sometimes days are so hard to survive
a million ways to bury you alive
the sun goes down on that bad dream
you wound up so tight gotta let off steam
they say they can break you
again and again
if life is a radio
turn up to ten"

that's geniosity for sure. i kinda wish i'd gone to see paul stanley play the phantom now...
whoever knows the name of both songs gets to buy me a drink.
