Thanks! That restaurant, for those who might be somewhat familiar with the Boston area was located on Revere Street in Revere, MA, maybe a half mile from the beach. It was called the "Ritz" but was actually more of a dive bar that practically sat over the old Boston & Maine railroad tracks. I believe it is a chinese restaurant these days.

Another band I did not like from the 1970s was Kiss. I never did get that scene. Four men dressed like clowns from the gates of hell playing mostly awful slabs of derivative "hard rock". Yet most of my friends at the time went nuts over them. I only liked one song from that group, the ballad "Beth" which reminds me of the first girl I had a crush on back in late 1976. Only her name was not Beth, but Teresa. No songs I'm aware of that have Teresa in the title.

That’s a great description of Kiss. I actually went to a Kiss concert at college, believe it or not, in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Loudest, craziest event I ever been to. Don’t know why I went to it but at the time (1978)they were a hot
band and it was an excuse to party. Think I lost some brain cells that night. Anyway, their whole marketing effort seemed to revolve around those crazy costumes and Gene Simmons’ super long tongue. It was “erotic” to the girls, you know :)
