KISS Protest

10/21/05
. (BW&BK) Plans for a protest rally at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame continue after fans of the iconic rock group KISS received a letter from Hall Of Fame president Terry Stewart.

"Unacceptable!" says Joe Apple, who initiated contact with the Hall by requesting an explanation for KISS's absence on the ballot for Hall Of Fame induction. Apple is not only a fan, but the chair of the rally planned for August 5, 2006 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland, Ohio.

"They really missed the point," agrees rally co-chair Paul Carpenter. Among other things, Stewart told us that �candidates are reviewed and discussed relative to their impact on this music that we broadly call rock and roll.'

What the Hall establishment fails to acknowledge is not just KISS' impact on music, but on rock and roll itself. KISS not only created a musical spectacle, but a culture. For much of the world, the word �KISS' is synonymous with the phrase �rock and roll.' KISS reset the bar for other artists when they stormed into the �70s. Three decades later, their influence on show business is everywhere."[see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
