Re: KISS' Gene Simmons, Terry Gross, and NPR ...

For those of you that have heard of this interview and heard the ruckus that
it caused...You may have heard that NPR was not featuring it on it's
website.

But...GOOD NEWS...They will be re-running it as part of "Fresh Air
Weekend"....which WBUR airs on Saturday nights at 9PM.  (They also run FA
Wknd on Sundays too, I'm not sure if they are the same show...or
staggered....and maybe it will be featured on Sunday only.....But I will try
to catch the Saturday Night broadcast.)

Also, look at this web site...You can probably catch a re-run of it online
somewhere.
