Scattergories have to be next week: sorry! I’m doing this on my phone and I need my computer to do the Scattergories.

I’m posting more than five questions because I think most of these aren’t particularly provocative. And because I think people might shy away from a certain one. Pick any five, and as always, just have fun!

  1. What’s down at the end of the Boulevard of Broken Dreams?
  2. What’s down at the end of My Way?
  3. What’s down at the end of Perfect Circle?
  4. What’s down at the end of Asian Avenue?
  5. What’s down at the end of Sunday Drive?
  6. What’s down at the end of Stay in Your Lane?
  7. What’s down at the end of Any Place?

Thanks for participating, and have a yummy weekend!

The #5 question was originally about a favorite Ace Frehley song, but I decided I might be the only person who could readily answer it. “Cold Gin,” of course! Gene Simmons did the vocal on the Kiss release, but Ace wrote it, and he recorded his own vocals on it when he rereleased it on his most recent album. Feel free to add it as a bonus question if you have an answer. 🙂
