Today, a treat: Part 0 of my series of Kiss reviews, leading up to the release of Monster! Yes, part 0. Today we go right back to the beginning: Wicked Lester.
KISS – Wicked Lester / Eddie Kramer Demos (1972 – 1973, CD bootleg)
Before forming Kiss with Peter Criss and Ace Frehley, Gene and Paul had a five piece band called Wicked Lester that cut one album for Epic. That album has never been released, although a couple tracks turned up on the Kiss Box Set.
You might recognize two songs: “She” and “Love Her All I Can” which were both recorded much harder on Dressed To Kill. One song, “(We Want To) Shout It Out Loud” is a Hollies cover that later inspired the title of the classic hit from Destroyer. The sound is very hippy-dippy and directionless. Flutes and strings and overly sweet harmony vocals mire what might have ended up being some cool songs. Indeed, “She” is about as vastly different from the sludgy version on Dressed To Kill as you can imagine.
The CD bootleg copy that I have is pretty lo-res. It includes as bonus tracks the five songs that Kiss cut on their original Eddie Kramer demo, that got them their record deal. These are fully realized rough and loose versions of the songs on the albums, and once again two have been released on the Box Set. Some are quite a bit longer, with extended solos.
The cover art is the original art that the band were going to use. The boy is supposed to be Wicked Lester, their intended mascot. The artwork was later used by a band called Laughing Dogs.
Part 32 of my series of Kiss reviews, leading up to the release of Monster!
VARIOUS – Kiss My Ass: Classic Kiss Regrooved (Official tribute album, 1994)
Kiss My Ass (you just knew they’d use that title eventually) was released in several formats: LP, CD, and a cool almost unrelated DVD too. I’ll talk about it all.
In the 90’s if there wasn’t a tribute album for your band, you didn’t matter. But Kiss had one out before Zeppelin and Sabbath. Kiss put it together themselves, which isn’t a bad thing — Black Sabbath and Robert Plant participated in their own tribute albums, too. Kiss My Ass or A** (available with and without profanity) is an enjoyable, diverse listen from start to finish, leaning heavily on stars from the 90’s, but also reaching back in time to a handful of earlier legends.
Up first is a great, very different version of “Deuce” by Lenny Kravitz and Stevie Wonder. Stevie plays some seriously honkin’ harmonica on the track. It’s completely unlike the original but if you like Lenny Kravitz (which I do), it’s awesome.
The Garth Brooks track is probably the most interesting on the album. Not because it’s Garth — Garth could probably do “Hard Luck Woman” in his sleep, it’s right up his alley and the world knows what a huge Kiss fan he is. It’s his backing band, who appear here uncredited. You may have heard of them. A little band called Kiss. Kiss even performed the song live with Brooks on late night TV.
Anthrax (with John Bush on vocals), who are also diehard Kiss fans and have done many Kiss covers over the years, simply pummel “She” to a pulp, and once again it’s great. Incidentally, produced by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons.
By now you’ve heard three diverse tracks by three completely different bands, so you’ll be excused if you find the ride a little bumpy now.
The Gin Blossoms played it very straight on “Christine Sixteen”, but Toad The Wet Sprocket really shook it up on “Rock And Roll All Nite”. You have to admire their urge to experiment with the most famous of all Kiss tunes, but really, who spiked their water with Valium? I snooze through this one every time. It sucks.
“Calling Dr. Love” is performed by supergroup Shandi’s Addiction: Tom and Brad from Rage Against The Machine, Billy Gould from Faith No More on funky bass, all topped by the unique vocals of Maynard James Keenan. How much more 90’s can you get? None, none more 90’s. I can’t say this track is a winner but it sure is different. You’re forced to keep listening out of sheer curiosity. It sounds like a mash of all three bands which is pretty unimaginable.
Dinosaur Jr. turn up one of the best performances on the disc with a dour, lush “Goin’ Blind”. This mournful version is true to the spirit of the muddy original, and J. Mascis just nails it. Heh…Dinosaur Jr! Yeah, it must have been 1994.
At this point, I’m realizing that Kiss My Ass is just as much a tribute to the bands of the mid-90’s as it is to Kiss!
Extreme turned in a slowed down but groovy version of “Strutter”, complete with Nuno’s own sweet harmony vocals. Great track by a great, underrated band.
I could do without The Lemonheads’ version of “Plaster Caster”, but it is very faithful to the original song. Once again, kids today will ask “Who are the Lemonheads?”
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones really had balls to open “Detroit Rock City” the way they did. It opens with a phone call from Gene Simmons explaining that they could not perform “Detroit”, as Ugly Kid Joe and Megadeth were already fighting over who was going to do the song. Gene advises them to pick another song, right before that bone-crushing opening riff kicks in. And this is truly a great version, if you dig the Bosstones’ unique style of vocalizing. Ironically neither Megadeth nor Ugly Kid Joe made the cut for this album. Nor did Nine Inch Nails, who recorded “Love Gun” (still unreleased).
The final track on the domestic CD is a beautiful orchestral version of “Black Diamond” by someone called Yoshiki (X Japan). This is a great instrumental, and the ideal way to end an album such as this. The album, diverse all the way through, ends on a very different note from that which it began!
Import and LP versions have a bonus track, “Unholy” by some German industrial band. I haven’t heard it because I never opened my LP, but for those interested, it is the only non-makeup song included on the album.
I mentioned a DVD release. It’s badass. It’s basically a third DVD, along the lines of Exposed and X-Treme Close Up. It’s loaded with vintage clips and has some interviews with Paul, Gene, Bruce, and Eric. They briefly show Anthrax in the studio cutting their Kiss cover, as well as Gin Blossoms. There’s even a preview of the cover artwork for the forthcoming Kiss album to be called Head…
Lastly, I even have a rare, rare, really really rare promo Kiss My A** On the Radio CD. I have no idea what this sucker is worth today. It is the only audio release of some of the best live tunes from the Kiss My Ass DVD, seven of them, along with tons of Gene and Paul talking.
4/5 stars all around.
The track lists can be found within the photo gallery below:
There were some discs that we were never short of. We always had them. Cheap. Add your staff discount to that, and you could get a lot of stuff dirt cheap. But the discs themselves were so common, they were always in stock. Therefore they never were a priority for me at the time. Soundtracks and compilations were a great example of this. Last Action Hero, Super Mario Bros, these could be had for super cheap, any time, and they all contained exclusive music by cool bands like Megadeth, Anthrax, Extreme, and so on.
One disc that I never picked up before was the soundtrack to a bad horror movie called Shocker, by Wes Craven. The soundtrack had numerous stars on it – members of Kiss, Motley Crue, Alice Cooper, Whitesnake, Van Halen, and more. The title song was a Paul Stanley rocker performed by Paul and Desmond Child in an all-star band called The Dudes of Wrath, and it wasn’t a bad song. There was also another Paul tune on here called “Sword and Stone”, recorded by a band called Bonfire.
(Now, here’s the interesting thing about “Shocker”, the song. Desmond Child wrote the guitar lick, a very Platinum Blonde-esque part that is almost identical to the one in a Kiss song released at the same time, called “King of Hearts”. And who wrote that? Paul and Desmond Child. It’s the same freakin’ thing.)
Anyway, long story short: I never pulled the trigger while I was at the store. I’m still today in the process of replacing my cassettes on CD, and this is one. The CD was just too common, it was always in stock and I always had better things to spend my money on. I could have got it for $4 at any point over the years. I should have.
Look at this one, that I paid $12 for from Amazon Marketplaces. The spine is cut as a promo. The front is scuffed. The CD has some scratches on it. This is all stuff that wouldn’t have happened in my store. Even if it was a cut promo, every case was replaced if not already like new. Not to mention I had complete control to be picky about quality before I bought. Not to mention that in the past, I had numerous chances to get Shocker uncut. Now, unfortunately, the disc is less common.
Part 31 of my series of Kiss reviews, leading up to the release of Monster!
KISS – Alive III (1993)
I like Alive III, but I don’t think any fan can say it’s as good or better than I or II. How could it be? Artificial or not, Kiss Alive! is one of the greatest live albums of all time. Alive II was a contender. Alive III simply could not live up to either.
If it didn’t sell well, I don’t particularly blame Kiss. It was the summer of “live albums”. Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, and Iron Maiden all had double live discs out that summer, and that’s a lot of money to be spent by the devoted rock fan.
Although the first two Alives avoided song overlap, Alive III does contain some old Kiss songs that were previously played on one of the first two:
“Deuce”
“Detroit Rock City”
“Rock And Roll All Night”
“Watchin’ You” (given a funkier touch here by Bruce)
Everything else is a more recent vintage, and rightfully so. Kiss hadn’t done a live album in 16 years at this point, so there were lots of new songs to play. “Creatures Of The Night” had been a setlist staple for ten years at this point.
Performance wise, this is really good. With Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer in the band, Kiss had evolved to a sleeker machine. The songs were played much more expertly, and not as loose. A critic would use the word “mechanically” but it’s just different, and a matter of taste. Bruce Kulick at this point was not playing his solos with as much 80’s trickery, and was now much more suited to playing Ace Frehley’s songs. Eric Singer seemed to master a nice middle ground between Peter Criss and Eric Carr’s styles. He is in fact my favourite Kiss drummer because of his creativity on the kit.
All songs are sung by Gene and Paul, although Eric sings very nice backups. There is one instrumental, Bruce Kulick’s guitar showcase on the “Star Spangled Banner”, never recorded by Kiss in studio form!
On the negative side, I don’t like the production, once again by Eddie Kramer who also helmed the first two. It sounds too polished. The audience sounds artificial, pasted on. When Paul raps, the audience just screams through, there’s no reaction.
Interestingly, there are a total of five songs from Revenge (including the Japanese/vinyl bonus track “Take It Off”). That shows how strong the new material was, and why there aren’t more Kiss oldies. It is a shame that today Kiss doesn’t sprinkle that much new material into setlists.
A point of trivia, at one point the inclusion of a brand new studio song called “Carnival Of Souls” was discussed. It was finally released a decade later on Gene’s solo album, Asshole. So this is the time period from which that song originated. Astute fans will recognize it as the title of an eventual studio album.
A Gene song was even selected as the first and only single: “I Love It Loud”. Personally I feel that even Eric Singer can’t play this song like Eric Carr did. And it’s way too overplayed now.
Alive III is not as essential as the first two, but if you pick up the Alive Box, which is the route I stronly suggest you take, you’ll get them all (with the exception of the symphonic Alive). Listening to I, II and III in a row will reveal growth and a strong catalogue of songs not immediately noticeable otherwise.
4/5 stars
With the long-awaited Alive III now behind them, Kiss began work on a number of new projects, including their own tribute album, a studio album to be called Head, and an acoustic “konvention” tour. Check this space again for all that and more.
Part 28 of my series of Kiss reviews, leading up to the release of Monster!
KISS – “God Gave Rock ‘N’ Roll To You II” (1991 CD single)
As part of their “Hey, let’s try anything!” modus operadi, Kiss decided to record a single with old producer Bob Ezrin. It was all a part of their greater scheme to drop the pop and get back to their rock roots. Working with Ezrin, who produced both their greatest commerial success (Destroyer) and failure (The Elder), was a tentative step to see what the chemistry would be like this time. The single was the perfect chance to test drive the partnership.
Released in conjunction with the movie Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey, this new Kiss single was also a first in that Kiss were contributing a brand new song to a movie soundtrack. This version is actually a different mix than that later on Revenge, so this single still is an exclusive of sorts.
“God Gave Rock ‘N’ Roll To You II” (my God what a cumbersome title) is a reworking of an old Argent tune, hence the II. At the time I didn’t think much of it, and I still don’t. It’s not a personal favourite of mine. It’s a little slow, although very anthemic and perfect for the live setting. It does feature Gene and Paul singing lead together, a rare thing indeed and a first since…when? A long time anyway. It also has some sweet harmony vocals from Eric Carr…his last recording with Kiss before succumbing to cancer way too young at age 41. While he underwent treatment, Eric Singer played drums on the song. This was all kept secret in 1991 before Carr died; in hindsight you can tell it’s Singer on drums. Carr even gave it his all, playing drums in the music video.
The other two tracks were also exclusive to the movie soundtrack: “Junior’s Gone Wild” by King’s X, and “Shout it Out” by Slaughter. Both bands were experiencing increased success and fans were eager for new music. “Junior’s Gone Wild” sounds like something not too far removed from King’s X in-the-making fourth album. “Shout it Out” is a typical Slaughter party rocker, as good as anything on their debut. A bit shrill and and sweet by today’s standards though.
Part 25 of my series of Kiss reviews, leading up to the release of Monster!
KISS – Crazy Nights (1987)
Gene Simmons, still off in la-la land ($immons Records, managing Liza Minelli), was about as far removed from the demon as you could get. Looking quite womanly, and no longer singing in his “monster voice”, Gene had lost it by 1987. Paul Stanley was writing songs on keyboards (not a good sign) although Bruce and Eric both made strong songwriting contributions. The result is Crazy Nights, a record that Bon Jovi could have made, but Kiss? It didn’t sound like Kiss to me.
Still, I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Crazy Nights because it came out when I was in highschool, and I played it nonstop then, even though I questioned Kiss’ direction. (Over)produced by Ron Nevison, Kiss were trying way too hard for radio and video hits. The rock was all but gone. At the same time, the songs are actually pretty well written for the most part. Better, on average, than some songs on Animalize. It’s the gloss and production that sinks Crazy Nights.
Originally titled Who Dares Wins, the album does indeed feature too many keyboards. I remember being so disheartened by the video for “Reason to Live”, and seeing Bruce Kulick playing keys instead of guitar. Stanley himself didn’t play guitar in the videos either — he wore one, and danced around with it. This didn’t seem like rock and roll anymore.
Here’s my song breakdown. I just wish there was more oomph to them.
Good to great songs:
“Hell Or High Water”
“Good Girl Gone Bad”
“Turn On The Night”
“No, No, No”
OK songs:
“Crazy, Crazy Nights”
“Reason To Live”
“I’ll Fight Hell To Hold You”
“My Way”
Bad songs:
“When Your Walls Come Down”
“Thief In The Night” (a song written earlier and recorded by Wendy O. Williams first)
So, not bad. Not enough Gene though. That was a problem on a lot of albums from Dynasty to Crazy Nights, there just wasn’t enough Gene. He had become a sideman, not a frontman. Gene’s singing here is smooth, no rasp and no guts. Paul’s singing is very high and something shrill. It was the 1980’s.
Only one song (“Crazy Crazy Nights”) has been played live since this tour.
Pick it up if you love 80’s rock. Avoid if you don’t.
2/5 stars
There are also several outtakes from this album that were later released: “Time Traveler” is a Paul Stanley keyboard song that found its way onto The Box Set. “Boomerang”, a speedy thrash-like number, was re-recorded for the next studio album, Hot In The Shade. “Dial L For Love”, an Eric Carr demo, was released on his posthumous Unfinished Business CD. Finally, one of the better Paul Stanley songs called “Sword and Stone”, was recorded by Bonfire and released on the soundtrack to the movie Shocker.
I have a couple bootlegs from this tour, seen below. (Yes, they put Vinnie on the cover of one by mistake!)
The Great Change happened around the turn of the millennium.
Prior to that, CD sales were fast and furious. DVD sales had begun to replace VHS sales. We still carried blank cassette tapes. Not too many people were downloading music. Most people weren’t even connected to the internet yet. I still had friends who would come over to use it, and I only got it in mid ’98.
Then I noticed a change. Cassette sales dwindled while requests for blank CD’s increased. Initially we resisted carrying blank CD’s. We thought by doing so, we would be unintentionally killing a CD sale. Eventually we began carrying blank discs, when they started dropping in price. They, they took off. We started hearing about Napster. And Metallica. Metallica fans began selling off their discs.
I remember one guying coming in with a great selection of Metallica discs. All the albums, plus the Live Sh*t box set.
“Wow, this is a great Metallica collection you have here,” I commented as I went through the discs.
“Thanks. I’m selling them because of that fucking asshole Lars. I ripped them all to my computer and now he can go fuck himself.”
I’ll never forget that because at first I felt like, “Well, that doesn’t really do anything to Lars, you already paid for the discs and gave him your money,” but I guess it was the principle of the thing. People were really pissed off. And that represented a huge change. People always bitched about CD prices. $24 for a regularly priced disc, that’s a lot of money. I used to get two albums for that money in 1986. There’d never been a satisfactory answer as to why a kid had to pay $24.99 for the new Judas Priest in 1998. And believe me, it wasn’t the stores ripping off the kids. The margin we made on new CDs could barely be called profit.
Over the next five years, I watched CD prices and sales drop, while we were forced to diversify in order to stay alive. We had already been carrying DVD’s. We started carrying McFarlane dolls. They were cool, but a lot of them were really limited. For example, for Kiss, we only got one Eric Carr, and two Aces. People would want the whole set, but all you’d have left was Paul and Gene.
Then bobble-heads came (which I hate, I absolutely hate bobble-heads). Then Osbournes family toys. Trivia games. Simpsons toys. Clocks. Posters. Books. Hats. CD wallets with a Linkin Park logo on them. Anything we could make a reasonable buck on, even if it was only marginally related to what we did, like the Simpsons toys. (We carried DVD’s, so Simpsons was marginally related.) Then we’d knock down whatever wasn’t selling to clearance prices, and try something else.
The only tangent that was really successful was Xbox and Playstation games. We had so many requests, and physically a game is identical to a CD or DVD, so games were a no brainer. People asked for them all the time. We had to educate ourselves from the ground up on game pricing and we jerry-rigged a way in our computer system to inventory them. However to me, the scent of decay was in the air. Because downloading had killed such a huge chunk of our music sales, the stores were nothing like the way I remembered.
Working in a store selling video games and bobble-heads wasn’t the dream job that started me on this path. I was always there for one reason: the music!
Part 24 of my series of Kiss reviews, leading up to the release of Monster!
KISS – Exposed (VHS 1987, DVD 2002)
While Kiss took some time off as Gene continued to pursue his movie career, Exposed was released in lieu of a studio album. 1986 was the first year to ever come and go without new Kiss music. The band sought commercial success, and an outside producer as they worked hard to record hits. This video nicely documented their career to that point.
A lot of long term KISS fans absolutely hate Exposed. It is not without flaws, but considering when it came out and what it aimed to do, it is actually one of the best home videos from the era.
Exposed is an early example of a mockumentary, or, as they say in the opening, “A rousing docu-drama. It will be disgusting to some, titilating to others. But whether it disgusts you, or titilates you, it is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” That right there tells you everything you need to know. Interspersed with the docu-drama bits are video clips, and live clips of the band during the makeup years.
The biggest flaw with Exposed is that it’s pretty sexist. It’s all meant to be in good fun I guess, but many will be offended by Gene using women as wall decorations. It was the 80’s; every band influenced by Kiss was doing the same thing, and Kiss responded by taking it to the limit. It is what it is, and if you’re likely to be offended, don’t watch. It’s still nothing compared to some rap videos I’ve seen.
The second biggest flaw is the lack of Eric Carr and Bruce Kulick participation. They each get two scenes: In Eric’s scene, he meets the interviewer and leaves without any audible lines. In Bruce’s scene, he chases a girl down the stairs and has the line, “Is this for the documentary? Edit her out!” In the final scene, Bruce and Eric are seen taking Paul’s monkey Sonny Crocket for a stroll. Everything else is the Gene and Paul Show.
The docu-drama takes place at “Paul’s mansion”, and this is where the jokes begin. It’s kind of an 80’s Monkees, with the band all living together in the same house. There’s a butler and women everywhere. Gene of course has a throne.
Paul and Gene are funny in Exposed. The interview segments are 50% “straight”, talking seriously about the early years of Kiss, and 50% comedy segments. I enjoyed the comedy. Gene in partiular is a very funny guy. In the “straight” segments there is a comraderie rarely seen between Gene and Paul, such as Paul razzing Gene about early song lyrics he had written. (“My mother is beauuuuutiful…,” Paul croons to an old Gene lyric.)
The music videos include some rarities such as the banned “Who Wants To Be Lonely” clip (more girls). Basically you get every music video from 1982 through to 1985., with a couple exceptions.
The live stuff proved to be just a taster for what Kiss had in their vaults. At the time, bands didn’t release a lot of archive concerts on home video, instead concentrating on documenting current tours. Now they do release such archival concerts on DVD, and since then Kiss have released more complete footage on Kissology I-III. The film quality, despite complaints from the fans, is pretty decent, especially the old 1974 clip of Deuce. Some fans claim their bootleg home videos look and sound better than the official KISS releases; I haven’t seen that.
The video ends with a brief audio clip of Paul answering the question, “What do we call this?” He responds, “Why don’t we call it Volume I?”
Volume II would come later in the form of Kiss’ X-treme Close Up, a more “serious” video, stripped of the girls and the jokiness. I find Exposed to be a much more entertaining video.
Check it out if you are a fan, particularly for 80’s Kiss. Avoid if you are not.
4/5 stars
Incidentally, you can get Kiss Exposed as a third bonus disc in a deluxe edition of Kiss Gold. Seen below, the regular edition of Kiss Gold. We’ll be talking about that CD much later on.
Part 22 of my series of Kiss reviews, leading up to the release of Monster! I’m generally not going to be covering DVDs, but this one was crucial to me. I heard a lot of these versions so often, that they were the “original” versions for me. So I have a soft spot for Animalize Live Uncensored.
KISS – Animalize Live Uncensored (VHS, 1985)
This video was recorded live at Cobo Hall, Detroit Michigan December 8th, 1984. It has never been released officially on DVD, although as you can see there are unofficial versions to be had. (It’s clearly unofficial since it has a picture of Carnival of Souls era Kiss on the back!) Annoying subtitles are the only real drawback to the DVD.
There’s not much crossover between this and the two Alive albums, as it leans heavily on newer material (Creatures, Lick It Up, Animalize). The tempos are, in general, faster. The energy is high, and Paul is singing at the peak of his talents. The solos by Bruce Kulick are flashy in that 80’s sort of way, which isn’t my thing. Basically this is 80’s KISS, like it or lump it. I like it somewhat, probably due to nostalgia.
Visually, Gene and Paul are all over the stage, while Eric stands on his drums and demands to be seen and heard. At the end, the band climb onto a flying platform. Very cool live show.
One special treat was Eric’s lead vocals on “Young and Wasted” and “Black Diamond”. I also quite enjoyed Eric’s drum solo. Gene’s bass solo is nothing much to speak of, just a chance for him to introduce “I Love It Loud”, but far more musical than solos past or present. Actually he only speaks twice on the whole DVD. Before “I Love It Loud” he says to the crowd, “Oh yeah? Ohhh yeeeah? Well alright, come on.” And then at another point Paul says, “How you doing Gene, alright?” to which Gene responds, “Welll ooooooohhhh yeeeeaaaah!” Quite comical really. Paul’s raps are some of his all time classics. “Paul, what you are doing with a pistol down your pants?” (“Love Gun”) His story about Gene’s “little child” (“Fits Like A Glove”) is also classic. His guitar solo is nothing special, I guess Bruce Kulick was just too new to the band to warrant a big solo? The fact that Paul has one is somewhat a rarity in KISStory.
The video quality of the DVD is fairly low. Don’t quote me on this, but I think I heard that this concert is going to be reissued on the next installment of the KISStory DVDs.
3/5 stars
There are several CD bootlegs (incomplete however) of this concert. The only live audio from this concert to be officially released was “Heaven’s On Fire”. Kiss contributed that track to Ronnie James Dio’s Hear N’ Aid LP (also being reissued!) which donated proceeds to feed people in Africa.
I’ve been reluctant to post anything about this, but I’m an honest fan. I’m no fanboy — when a band does something I don’t approve of, I say so.
Everybody knows I’m a huge Kiss fan. I first started noticing Paul’s voice getting raspier on the 2004 DVD Rock the Nation Live! Now, it’s…man it hurts to say this…it’s almost tuneless. You can hear Gene and Eric Singer holding down the melody while Paul struggles to sing.
I read recently that Paul had vocal cord surgery in November 2011, and that he says he has simply done too many tours with not enough time off to rest his voice. I think that is a real shame. Paul, listen to me — I consider you to be one of the top five rock singer frontmen of all time. Right up there with Freddie and Ronnie. To hear the guy that I once saw in Phantom of the Opera croak like this, something’s clearly wrong. Paul, if time off is all you need — take it!
We, the Kiss Army, would gladly, patiently wait years between tours if it meant preserving your voice. In the meantime you guys could continue to issue box sets and DVD’s with worthwhile unreleased material, and we’d buy it.
I fully expect the new album, Monster, to be good. I have no doubt that in the studio, a controlled environment, Paul nails it. But live, Paul, you need to give your voice a rest and take some time. We’ll still be here when you come back. For yourself, please think about it.
