Rev.Speats'Blog Cabin

So the first birthday gifts have arrived in the form of items from my Amazon wish list including "Seven Days In Memphis" by Mr.Sandy Cohen himself, Mr.Peter Gallagher!

For a kitsch-meister like myself, the Wish List is a guilt-free way to collect all the shlock you want!

Upon first listen, this album immediately takes its rightful place next to David Hasselhoff's "Nightrocker", Don Johnson's "Heartbeat", and of course Bruce Willis's "The Return of Bruno".

Now if it only came with Sandy Cohen's patented bagel slicer....

Great Moments In The KISStory of Rev.Speats - 2006

One would rarely call Los Angeles's exotic dance club Cheetah's a literary salon (though who am I to judge?), but for everything there is a first time and in another in a series of firsts I came face to face last night with a dancer who turned out to be Wendy Moore, author of Into The Void With Ace Frehley (one of the most entertaining and brutally honest non-fiction Rock N Roll books ever written and perhaps the most consistantly accurate portrait of a KISS member in print.) She definitely got a kick out of meeting someone who'd read her book and let me say for the record, she is really cool and probably the most articulate exotic dancer I've ever met (not that I've met that many or any exotic dancers mind you).

Let me digress for a moment here, I mean what are the odds of walking into Cheetah's and one of the dancers turns out to be a published author of a book that is: a) About your favorite KISS member and b) One you've actually bought and read cover to cover???? I tell you the KISS Army really takes care of its own.

(For The Record, The Good Reverend's Reasons For Being at Cheetah's Last Night Were of a Bachelor Party Nature).
