In The Garage? C’mon. I hate KISS with a passion and still have a soft spot in my heart for this song. It’s as pure of a coming of age song as there is.

They name checked Ace instead of Paul or Gene, and it’s the same amount of syllables. It was sincere.

Rivers snipes upstream, not downstream. Liking KISS in 1986ish wasn’t practically cool and D&D at the time was probably less cool than KISS. However, would either shock you in regards to what a 16 year old Rivers was into at the time? To me, nothing in Rivers persona reeks of being the cool kid, so I’ve always likened this to a “safe space” song. The guy was in shadows of KISS posters and rolled 12s because a DM told him to. “The Garage” is where he made himself into who is.
