Young Southpaw explores the curious fact that both KISS and Parliament had characters named Starchild during the 70s. With a deeper Mothership Connection as well. Billy Corgan would later have a band called Starchildren, making us wonder whether he’s under the impression that Joy Division were a KISS & P-Funk cover band. Also taking a look at Paul Stanley’s early alternate make-up design of The Bandit.

Taking in K.K. Downing, Casablanca Records, Vinnie Vincent, New Order, Peter Criss, The Bad News Bears, and much more
