In reply to Casey.

You like the songs in which better? Because none of the songs in Paradise stuck with me, and definitely not for a lack of trying, since they were all repeated multiple times in different styles. (Apart from his super hits, Paul Williams’s music doesn’t tend to stick with me as more than 70s background music. I can’t even remember the songs from Emmet Otter). Meanwhile I feel like I know several songs from Rocky Horror even without seeing it all the way through.

I’m in no danger of watching Sgt Peppers, but I feel like I need to watch KISS and the phantom of the park since the Hanna Barbera connection makes it seem like my jam 100%. I especially like how the Wikipedia description of it stresses how KISS separated themselves from the movie, making it sound like they’re uncompromising artists taken in by a shameless cash grab.
