anthrax as kiss decades ago

Here's something interesting.

In looking through an old issue (probably from 77 or 78) of 16 Magazine, I turned to the "reader-star lookalikes" section. Here, readers of this fine periodical would send in pictures of themselves in which they claimed to resemble such personages as Leif Garrett, Kristy McNichol, Shaun Cassidy, and various members of the Bay City Rollers.

A number of folks (mostly young women actually, but a lot of men) got themselves up as the members of Kiss and sent in photos.

One photo of such Kissitators came in from the Bronx, NY. The boys in the picture looked to be about 12-14 years old. Two of them were names Frankie Bello and Charlie Benante.

Frankie and Charlie are members of Anthrax -- I thought that was pretty neat.

Of course, the question on my mind is - what were you doing looking at 16 Magazine?

Albert, you don't have a subscription to 16 Magazine? How do you keep up with the goings-on of Leif Garrett, Shaun Cassidy, and the Bay City Rollers? You must be a cultural illiterate.

Sorry, I got this confused with Seventeen Magazine.
