When I was a teen, parents were horrified if their children wanted to see KISS in concert.
In 1997, I took my ten-year-old son to see KISS in concert.
I suppose that makes me a bad parent.
Oh, somebody (not me) happened to film that Columbus, GA show and post it online. Really.

Who wants to start?

Also, I never knew about the net.
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he thinks there’s a “55 percent chance” that President Trump will be reelected in 2020.
He’s probably right. Unless he’s using a climate change model to predict that.
