Paul Boutin : Gene Kan, belatedly (174 words) |
 | Most people who knew Gene Kan are aware of his death by now, and have read the tragic story of how his friends tried to help him but couldn't stop him in the end. |
| Gene and I never met face to face, but we had several long conversations on the phone and via email for a few stories I did. |
| Gene gave me a programmer's highest compliment to a reporter - his time. |
| KISS ASYLUM: Sound Off KISS Army! (3621 words) |
| KISS has always been Paul's main priority and we have all read many interviews where Gene has stated that he isn't interested in dignity and that he will have to be dragged screaming and kicking off the stage before he quits. |
| Paul's past casts a big shadow over him and it seems that Paul doesn't believe that he can come up with new material that matches what he wrote when he was younger. |
| Paul has, of course, never written tons of songs like Gene and he has taken help from outside writers since the late seventies, but in interviews after both Carnival Of Souls and Psycho Circus he stressed that "writing the songs was hard this time". |
