“To our friends in GREENVILLE,” the band said in a blame-it-on-the-stupid-techie ad taken out in a local newspaper last week. “… It has always been KISS’s mission to give you the greatest rock and roll show and treat you with the respect you deserve.”
So, how come only Greenville deserved that mea culpa?
