WHAS posted an article on their website announcing that the band KISS' final tour will make a stop at the KFC Yum! Center here in Louisville. While I'm sure there is a decent amount of people who would like to know this, it is not newsworthy. This story will not effect a lot of people for a long time and it's just celebrity fluff.

Amelia mentioned specifically that since she's been in high school, her appreciation for music has grown and she's realized what an effect it can have on you and your mood or emotions. Personally, I feel as though I've always constantly listened to music and realized the effects it has on me and the reliance I have on it, but the older I get and the more I learn the more I appreciate the fact that we can listen to music. Worldwide, I believe music has dramatically changed our cultures and we would be in a very different place without it. Amelia's blog post
