Now, even those with nothing useful to say can tell the whole world exactly, or more often vaguely, what they think. – Lane Brown
As I mentioned last month, I was never much of a KISS fan. However, the band did have a part in one special moment of my growing up: this song was the very first one I ever slow-danced to with a boy (at our 8th grade graduation party). The links above it were provided by Angela Keaton (x3); Phoenix Calida and Dan Savage; C.J. Ciaramella; Ryan Cooper; and Mike Masnick, in that order.

I find paywalls distasteful, and so many people find this blog valuable as a resource I just can’t bring myself to install one. Furthermore, I find ad delivery services (whose content I have no say over) even more distasteful. But as I’m now semi-retired from sex work, I can’t self-sponsor this blog by myself any longer. So if you value my writing enough that you would pay to see it if it were paywalled, please consider subscribing; there are four different levels to fit all budgets. Or if that doesn’t work for you, please consider showing your generosity with a one-time donation; you can Paypal to maggiemcneill@earthlink.net or else email me at the same address to make other arrangements. Thanks so much!
