Dee Snider defended KISS for taking the Kennedy Center Honors from the current president. He argued on social media that artists cannot wait for a politically preferable administration to receive such a lifetime achievement award.
Snider believes the band deserved the honor regardless of who presented it. He mentioned former member Ace Frehley's excitement about the award before his passing, noting many recipients are older. The honor should be accepted when offered.
This follows criticism toward frontman Paul Stanley, who previously called the president a danger to democracy. Snider's point is that the worthiness of the award exists separately from the presenter.
