The story goes that all his band at that time were serious Kiss fans and so they persuade Henry to blag them all some tickets for a show in some red neck nightmare of a venue in San Bernadino (of Bill n Ted fame) in Southern California.

The piece describes the whole event (especially the audience) and his conversion over the course of the day from the ultimate Kiss sceptic to Kiss acolyte. He also talks at length about his own place in rockbiz and the process of scamming freebies as an undercard artist etc. There is fair amount of class war ugliness as Henry denconstructs the mores of the white American underclass but you know how that goes. He is speaking to an Australian audience so the self-deprecation is amped up to 11. A very fine hour of stand-up.

It's up there with his Ratt routine and to cap it all there is a stand alone track called "The Wisdom of Gene and Paul". Really.
