KISS and Philosophy: Wiser than Hell

by Courtland Lewis Editor

KISS is one of the most outrageous—and yet the most enduring—of rock bands, with an unparalleled, almost religious level of devotion from millions of die-hard fans. In KISS and Philosophy, professional thinkers of diverse outlooks provide much-needed insights into the motivating ideas and metaphysical foundations of the KISS take on life. The biography of band members provides material for reflection, looking at the nature of forgiveness through the lens of KISS’s notorious feuds. The changing line-up of the band also raises questions about the meaning of “KISS” and whether KISS could last forever. (Short Discount)
