At one time, long ago, Rock-n-Roll was the voice of rebellion, of dissent.
But now, we've got the Rolling Stones' tours sponsored by Geritol and Depends. And instead of Sex, Drugs and Rock-n-Roll, it's more like Cialis is the sex drug of rock & roll.
Anyway, if KISS does another tour, may I meekly suggest that Suzuki should be its sponsor?
Sorry the Ace image didn't reproduce any larger...
Edit: The SD&RnR comment in the second ¶ is intended as an acknowledgment of the common perception, not acceptance of the drug culture.
For an insightful view of the role of dissent in the public discourse, I direct the gentle reader to the next to last verse of this song.

sometime around 1980, I took my willing father to a KISS concert; he was sort of a rebel for his age and thoroughly enjoyed it. IMHO, you didn't go to one of their concerts for the quality of the music, you went for the show.
There's a funny commercial now where Gene Simmons tries to pretend he's a intense as ever, and his own son walks out and makes fun of him...
I haven't seen the commercial, but I think I heard part of the audio the other night - will have to check it out next time it's on...
