Peter Criss, from "Kiss". OMG, terrible story, lol. I may have told this one before. My father used to be "Kiss" business manager from 1973 to 1980. One day, Mr Criss and my father were having a meeting in my father's office. I was a child, maybe five or six. My father introduces me, saying something like "This is Mr Peter Criss". Of course, I'd seen Kiss concerts, and seen Gene Simmons with his tounge, and I said something like "It's nice to meet you, Mr Criss, but who I really want to meet is the tounge", and then I stuck my tounge at him! I think my father was ready to kill me, but Criss, thankfully, just laughed. Supposedly, my mom told me that when I finally did meet Gene Simmons, he actually DID stick out his tounge at me!

Funny story, thirty five years later.
