    1976 I was 12 years old and me and my cousins and pals were so into KISS and skateboards. Best summer ever… went out as KISS for last “innocent “ Halloween…

    1976 or so, we went to see KISS live in Virginia, seems like a world away - i was a small kid. Stage had 'castle walls in the back, the entire band was on top - lights go out , fire balls exploded and blinded us for a few seconds, long intro then they went into DetroitRockCity and Paul came running down the stairs to sing - man that was one of the most amazing shows ever

      I would give up my firstborn to go back to the 90s! Particularly, the early to mid 90s! I graduated high school in 1991, graduated college in 1996, and had a BLAST during my college years! Ren & Stimpy, Beavis & Butthead, MTV actually played music videos, and had music shows for every musical taste! If you liked rap, then there was "Yo! MTV Raps." If you liked alternative, there was "120 Minutes." If you liked pop, there was "Dial MTV," which was later changed to "Total Request Live." If you liked metal, there was "Headbanger's Ball." I loved ALL of those shows! Kids today will NEVER understand how great MTV really was! I just want to go back to the 90s, and STAY THERE FOREVER!!
