KISS AND MAKE UP

So I'm waiting in the departure lounge at Jackson airport on my way via Dallas to Shreveport. Everyone except me starts staring at an old guy in denims- they're asking him for autographs, photos, to talk to their kids on the phone. People without cameras are even begging people with cameras to take pictures and send them on to them. Me? I'm totally oblivious and can't really be bothered to ask what the fuss is about. Someone else equally in the dark eventually asks the question, and it turns out the guy is Gene Simmons from Kiss. I didn't recognise him without his makeup! He was on my flight to Dallas as well. Whilst waiting in Dallas I managed to catch up with James again, and I'm now in Shreveport with good ole' boy Geof Barkley. Geof was Third Day's keyboard player for many years and we became firm friends on the road. Just for the record, the picture on the left is of Gene Simmons and not Geof Barkley.

I'm glad you clarified, because I was beginning to think that Geof had taken an interesting turn in his career. (I spell checked this post by the way ;) tons of love

I would say.. no one would have probably recognized him if not for a string of reality show appearances...

Hope all is well

God Bless
