  1. Kiss Celebrates 40th Anniversary

    <span style="font-size: small;">Kiss have marked their 40th anniversary by thanking fans for their support through the decades &ndash; and frontman Paul Stanley has admitted he only wanted five years of success from the band. They played their first-ever show on January 30, 1973, in a New York club, after Stanley and Gene Simmons decided to move on from previous band Wicked Lester. They were paid $50 for the appearance in front of an audience of less than 10 people. The bassist says: &ldquo;Wicked Lester had just finished its album. Though we had a real recording contract with a major label, and though we had finished an entire album, we were depressed &ndash; it just wasn&rsquo;t what we had envisioned. &ldquo;We tried firing the other three guys but some wouldn&rsquo;t leave. So we quit. We started again with a vision: &lsquo;Let&rsquo;s put together the band we never saw on stage.&rdquo; He recalls their first manager, on hearing the &ldquo;newborn baby&rdquo; that was Kiss, though it was &ldquo;the worst crap he had ever heard.&rdquo; That left the band without representation; so Simmons created a press kit while Stanley had promotional material printed by a friend. &ldquo;I made a phone call, cold, to a place called Popcorn in Queens, New York,&rdquo; the bassist says. &ldquo;We got the gig: three nights, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, for the sum of $150. That was the beginning.&rdquo;</span>

  5. No heartstrings left unplucked with 'Any Day Now' ★★

    A determined weepie, "Any Day Now" lives for such scenes as an adoptive parent being pulled away, screaming, from the child with Down syndrome whom he has come to know and love. The movie has heart and soul and a load of justifiable outrage. Here's what it doesn't have: nuance, dramatic specificity, an evocative sense of time (late 1970s-early '80s) or place (Los Angeles).
