ACE FREHLEY: In A Giddy Mood

“Say ‘Dukakis’ and ‘hanging out’ in the same sentence,” requests Ace Frehley, on the phone from New York City.

Dukakis?

“Yeah, like the Presidential candidate’s last name. You know, Du-ka-

kis..."

Do there have to be words between them or should I just say them together?

“Oh, you can just say them together,” Frehley answers, innocently enough.

Don’t even think about it. I’m onto your game.

“Umm, well, you’ll have to forgive me then. It’s been a long day and I guess I’m in sort of a giddy mood . . .”

Giddy mood notwithstanding, Ace Frehley’s really calling to tell me how serious he is about his not-so-new band, Frehley’s Comet. Ace Frehley, the man who once covered his face with silver and white grease paint as one of the founding members of Kiss, has a new lease on life—and he says it’s all because of this band.
