Welcome to Episode 1 of The Tao Of Paul, a new occasional series within Paltrocast With Darren Paltrowitz exploring life lessons, perspective, and humor through the lyrics of KISS singer Paul Stanley..

In this debut episode, host Darren Paltrowitz is joined by drummer Francis Valentino (David Lee Roth, Matthew Curry, Joanne Bird, Billy Walton) and podcaster Corey Morrissette (host of And The Podcast Will Rock and other music-focused shows) for a relaxed, conversational breakdown of how rock lyrics can potentially unexpectedly offer clarity, motivation, and everyday wisdom.
