Those of you who know me know full well that I am a big fan of Ales and Dark Lagers. There is nothing better than opening up a cold bottle of your favorite ale, smelling the aroma and enjoying the sound of hit hitting your pint glass as you slowly pour it in. Excited for the treat to come, you gently swirl a small amount to make sure the delicious sediment is included in your glass. As you pull the glass up to your face, you smell it again. The floral aroma invades your capillaries like a thousand Orcs …

The songs are definitely KISS songs, nothing more, nothing less. The people who like KISS will …

 I'm going to break one of my most sacred personal rules: Not to give my political opinion unless asked for it. I've always refrained from political arguments because unlike 99% of everyone I know, I can admit I don't know everything about politics.
