Paul Stanley on Rock Hall members & KISS' chances for induction
He says he doesn't hold much hope of his band ever getting inducted
KISS' Paul Stanley doesn't hold out much hope of his band ever getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The rocker tells "The Huffington Post" the group's chances depend on "who lives longer" - them or Rock Hall co-founder Jann Wenner, who has been accused of being biased against KISS.
But he's not the only one. Rock Hall nominating committee member Dave Marsh has admitted that he doesn't want KISS on the ballot. Stanley calls it "absurd," given the lengthy list of artists - many of whom have been inducted - that call KISS an influence. He also objects to some of the people who have been inducted, citing 2012 inductee Laura Nyro to prove his point.
Paul calls himself "one of the biggest Laura Nyro fans," and says he still listens to her music "incessantly." He explains that Nyro "absolutely" fits in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, but she "does not belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame."
Stanley says he's not lobbying for KISS' induction. He says he would "certainly accept" if given the nod because it's important to the fans but he's not missing the "adoration" of "the people who choose not to see things."Rush, Heart, and Randy Newman were among this year's Rock Hall inductees. An HBO special of last month's ceremony aired on Saturday.

Zombie, D.C. by Corey Deitz (Kindle and Paperback) Zombies and Politics: One Will Kill You. The Other Will Make You Wish You Were Dead! The nation's capital is under siege by the living dead, the President of the United States has not been seen in public for weeks and Washington D.C. is on complete lockdown. A zombie infestation has infiltrated the seat of national government and politics just became Bite-Partisan. Zombie D.C. is clearly this year's most intelligent spoof on the state of politics in the United States of America. Little escapes the author's stinging satire as he lampoons Republicans, Democrats, health care, terrorism, lying politicians, the Occupy Movement, the 1%, the 99%, cable news, and more.

"Shut Up! We All Have Issues!" Kindle and Paperback
The Kindle Version of Corey's new book: "Shut Up! We All Have Issues" is now available for just 99 Cents. This book is one man's quest to rid himself of all his psychological demons by exorcising them with self-deprecating humor. This book is a landmark in understanding the human mind and the author should be commended for allowing his pathetic fears, mental ticks, and social anxieties to be put on display like a piece of salmon at Sigmund Freud's favorite delicatessen.

The Cash Cage Funny but fierce: Corey's first book is a great read. The ordinary perception that disc jockeys have a glamorous life, flanked by popularity and perks, is quickly put into perspective as the darker side of an industry is exposed where constant moving, loneliness, backstabbing and job termination are the prerequisites for success. Through his humorous and casual writing style in The Cash Cage, you'll meet an army of wanderers who spin tunes, give the time and temp, take the requests and when the pressure is on are easily discarded by a cutthroat business that disguises itself as your favorite song.
