Condoleezza Rice Joins KISS Army

Posted over 3 years ago
The Kiss Army fan club has an enthusiastic new recruit: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.Rice was in the Swedish capital Thursday for an international conference on Iraq. Kiss had a sold-out concert to play Friday."I was thrilled," Rice said of her late-night encounter with Kiss frontman Gene Simmons and bandmates Paul Stanley, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer in the executive lounge of the Sheraton Hotel where they signed autographs and handed out backstage passes and T-shirts to her staff."It was really fun to meet Kiss and Gene Simmons," she told reporters, noting that they seemed well-informed about current events. The band had asked if she could stop by after she finished dinner with the Swedish foreign minister and Rice readily agreed, she said.??Rice(center) with the Fellas'??Condi said her favorite Kiss tune is "Rock and Roll All Nite," but, Rice conceded, she has never seen the band in concert.Official site:http://www.kissonline.com/

  1. brittanybf says Know who else likes KISS? The writer of this lyric,"I've got posters on the wall. My favorite rock group Kiss. I've got Ace Frehley. I've got Peter Criss. Waiting there for me. Yes I do, I do." Guess who. I wonder if Condi's got KISS posters on her wall.

  5. Lighter Dusk says Condi totally seems like she would have been a groupie back in the day...I wonder if she'd still spread 'em for Gene-O just for nostalgia's sake. -Dusk

  8. RGM says I don't know if KISS makes her cool, or she kinda makes them un-cool now.

  10. brendanhalpin says Well, that one's Wilco's "Heavy Metal Drummer." And of course, there's this one, which isn't much of a challenge, but since nobody else has brought it up and it does kind of put me in mind of Condi hanging out with KISS (they stopped being cool when Music From the Elder came out, so who's making who uncool in that photo is pretty much of a wash): "Mom and Dad were rolling on the couch, rolling numbers rock and rollin' got my KISS records out."
