...furniture, marginally stylish when new, shows the wear of a decade and the impact of two lively kids. A Kiss album has been left abandoned on a sofa that Elton John wouldn't allow in the servants' quarters. A silver-blue Mercedes-Benz is parked in the concrete driveway, but automotive ostentation is endemic to Los Angeles, even to such a comparatively modest suburb as Woodland Hills...
...only still lives plain, but Al Coury. 43, talks as tough ("Don't call me back. Just do it") and speaks as straight ("If someone brought me Kiss today on a silver platter, I still wouldn't sign them") as he did 21 years ago, when he started hustling records around New England for Capitol.

He engineers marketing strategy, designs ad campaigns, even pitches in on planning those mammoth Sunset...

Just over half of all American women...
...moments together as they steadily abandon their resolve to die for "Master" and start appreciating the reasons to live presented by the hunky soldier boy. Gatson plays the philosophical guard charmingly, acting like a guy on his first date who isn't sure when to shut up and just kiss the woman. His flowery lines are delivered in a soft Southern accent which makes them seem all the more incongruous and funny...
