You might notice Bender was a little hairier than normal. Instead of a rally beard, he grew a “tally beard”, challenging listeners to join the KISS Club…if 1000 or more signed up, he’d shave it live on the air. KISS’ listeners responded and at 8 a.m. Thursday, the razor came out!
WHOA!! What a difference a little facial hair makes! The BEARD… is GONE!!!!!!! pic.twitter.com/dsSdBJPrv1
