Rock & Roll Birthdays

1960 Tommy Thayer, American guitarist (Kiss), born in Portland, Oregon

Could never tolerate KISS for decades. Happened to accidentally catch their unplugged and unmasked show, and it was excellent. Just about coincided with Thayer permanently replacing Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss also being out of the band. Never really became a fan of more than that one show, and a few other singles like this one.
