Sunday night, I felt a little ill. I was coughing, sniffling and just not feeling well. That was until I saw my favorite band on televi- sion. After that, I just wanted to vomit and cry all at the same time. Let me explain. Most people would be happy to see their favorite musical act performing on TV It would be a moment of glee and joy. This was not the case for me. That's because my favorite band is KISS. Yes, the foursome who told us to "Shout It Out Loud" holds a spe- cial place in my heart. But after the poorly lip-synced perfor- mance at the closing ceremonies of the Winter Games, it became obvious to me that my rock idols have become so ridiculous that even one of their biggest fans, me, is begging them to call it quits. Now, let me set this up for you. I was 12 years old when Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace I-'rehley and Peter Criss entered my life. I was young, impression- able and ready to rock. I snuck up into my brother's room one summer's day and saw the album Destroyer on hisbed. I figured I'd put it in for a laugh because how good could the dudes who sang "Rock and Roll All Night" actually be? • Well, for the next 34 minutes and 31 seconds, I stared at my brother's red, white and blue striped wallpaper in sheer disbe- lief. As I came out of my state of shock, I put my tongue back in my mouth, wiped the drool of my chin and craved more. Where had these guys been all my life? For the next five or six years, any money I earned or was given went into buying anything KISS. It was so bad that when a special edition magazine devoted to KISS was released, I would buy two copies. One copy would be left intact to read for many years to come, and the other was to take the pictures out of and hang on my bedroom wall. Hey, I said I was a fan. In 1996, KISS announced a reunion lour. This was a day I never thought would happen. I paid $40 for that concert ticket, and it was the best $401 had ever spent. A 2 112 hour rock specta- cle that left me deaf and hoarse for a week. It was pure bliss. Then, as time went on and KISS was in the public eye more and more, I started to come upon a sad fact. The band I had wor- shipped through my youth, the guys I had given all my lawn mowing money to, became embarrassing to like. When did this happen? I lad 1 become such a cynical young man that not even the four rock superheroes that wowed me in my youth could impress my criti- cal mind? Well, the answer is "no." The problem wasn't that my opinions or tastes had changed. The prob- lem was KISS didn't know when to give it up. That all came to a head as I sat and watched three- fourths (Peter Criss, the drum- mer, is no longer in the band) of one of the greatest rock bands ever make fools out of them- Audience laughs so hard tears fall at Onion humor selves in front of a worldwide by Russell Berman moderated the event college, and I started smoking a For Vowell, who has authored the New Times, a local weekly audience. u- WIRE Before a crowd of more than lot of marijuana," Hanson said. two books — "Taking the newspaper in Miami, Fla.

DAN NIED Sports writer

Ryan Wetterberg scored a goal in his last game at the Ice Arena It's something he hasn't done very often as the Minnesota native scores about as much as a neutered dog. But when he got his goal Saturday night to put the Falcon hockey team ahead 3-0 over Northern Michigan, a tingle swept through the crowd. It was senior night at the Ice Arena It was that same senior night tingle that swept through Anderson Arena last night when the four seniors on the men's basketball team accounted for Bowling Green's first 17 points against Buffalo. And that's what these basket- ball and hockey seniors have come to represent. For the last four years, they've chosen their spots with dignity and talent. While the six icers are one of the more colorful bunches of the world, the basketball seniors have been a part of an incredibly special time at Bowling Green. They were Dan Dakich's first real recruiting class, and they've made the Falcons one of the most consistently strong teams in the MAC For the four basketball seniors, their chemistry works in an incredible way.
