I like how the girl at the beginning raises her hand when she knows the KISS song like she's in class.

Excellent work, professor Trenty.

- Our generation has taken over the advertising industry. I see more and more commercials that use cool contemporary music - car ads featuring M Ward and Modest Mouse - and hip previous-generation music - T. Rex and The The
for instance. The other day I saw a Volvo commercial that used a song by The Feelies as background music. That's a band that played numerous times in the basement of my fraternity house, and not many people had ever heard them
even back then.

- Big bands from our generation had more staying power than previous or subsequent generations - REM, U2, The Stones, Bon Jovi, etc. I feel like
there are few bands today that stay around very long. Part of the problem is the record companies get their quick buck and then spit them out. Our
collective attention spans are shorter as well. How many Maroon 5s and Franz Ferdinands can we go through? When you get down to it, these bands are
record company concepts that just have no substance.

- The past is never out of reach these days. YouTube is the greatest invention ever (next to the capo). I can dial up performances from just
about any band I ever listened to. The Feelies, for instance, are one of my all-time favorite bands, and as obscure as they were I can find numerous old
and more recent video clips on YouTube. I had a friend in college who had a videotape with all the videos from The Cure's Staring At The Sea. They are
incredible videos and I was mesmerized by them at the time. Well, they are pretty much all on YouTube now. I just wish the video quality of YouTube was
better - but that will come.

- Kiss Alive II was the first album my parents ever gave me. It definitely went against their better judgment, but they could tell how much it meant to
me. I got it for Christmas when I was about 10 years old, at my grandmother's apartment in Columbus, Ga. I remember playing it right away on
the built-in record-player cabinet in her living room. The picture of Gene spitting blood really freaked everybody out. God, I loved that album so
much. Only later did I acquire Kiss Alive I, which I thought was much rawer, but still incredible. My mother thought the letter on the inside jacket from
Ace to us Earthlings was perverted.

- You are doing a great service by sharing the musical genius of our generation. Keep up the good work!
