More importantly: why are KISS still around?

She hasn't lost anything. But it's disrespectful of them to make her so uncomfortable.

It's Grandpas in makeup.

Anyone would feel uncomfortable.

Where in the photo do you see that happening? Please point at the area using this Ken doll.

It's just that it appears that Ringo is taking a commemorative photograph with KISS. Not the other way around. But hey, most non-Japanese don't pay attention to the Japanese music scene. And Japan does tend to love Western music. Even if Ringo > KISS, it's probably cool for her to meet a band that was famous when she was young. She's the shizz now. Well, maybe thirteen or so years ago.

OK, maybe I'm overreacting, but being felt up by KISS just seems *so* creepy...

Don't you think it's blindingly naive to think Ringo was, or ever will be as iconic as KISS were? EVERYONE is aware of them, not so much Ringo. Even in Japan.

But anyway, its just a photo in the end.

If we're talking iconic on a popular culture level, there's no contest. But a lot of Eastern artists should get more international attention than they do. Not just Ringo.

It's really pointless to be saying who should be honored to meet the other. That's what I was trying to say.
