* Newspaper columnist D. L. Stewart recounts, via his book ''Fathers Are People Too'', how one of his sons was a fan of the band, and explained them (including showing him a trading card of Gene Simmons) after Stewart complained about the volume on the record he was playing. Songs namedropped in the scene in question include "Cold Gin", "Rock Bottom" and "Ladies' Room". Stewart apparently had a low opinion of the music, comparing it to alley cats yowling.
