Bitte warten, Sternradio hat technische Schwierigkeiten. Der Sender raucht. Rauchen wird dich töten.

I hate em after Ace and Peter got kicked, but you make up for it with the awesome signal and other music. KISS in Memphrica were my first two concerts, first with Dr Hook second with AC/DC first tour. I was a KISS freak, and a kid. Still know every lyric to every song up until Love Gun
