Line 13: Uhelszki's feature article "I Dreamed I Was Onstage with KISS in My Maidenform Bra" documents the night she performed in full costume and makeup with the band [[Kiss (band)\|KISS]]—the only rock journalist ever to do so.<ref>Uhelszki, Jaan. (August, 1975) "I Dreamed I Was Onstage with KISS in My Maidenform Bra," ''Creem''.</ref> Of proposing the story about performing with KISS, she pointed out: <blockquote>''A man couldn't have done that story. He wouldn't have got the access. Being an underestimated under-gender I got away with things my male counterparts couldn't.''<ref>Moser, Margaret. (September 20, 2005) [http://www.well.com/conf/inkwell.vue/topics/254/Lisa-Rhodes-Electric-Ladyland-page08.html "Electric Ladyland: Women and Rock Culture - interview with Lisa Rhodes,"] ''The Well - Inkwell: Authors and Artists'', p. 8. Retrieved on December 29, 2008.</ref></blockquote> ''The KISS experience, which started out as a joke, would go on to influence the rest of her writing career. Performing in full makeup and costume in front of 6,000 people, Uhelszki noted: <blockquote>''I think that experience has impacted everything I've written afterward because I know what it's like to live, if only for five minutes, on the other side. It was an amazing thing for me. I definitely have much more empathy and much more of an understanding of musicians and that thrill, and how hard it is to give up that surge of power you get every night. You understand what it was like to stand in front of people.''<ref>Leaf, David & Sharp, Ken, ''KISS: Behind the Mask: The Official Authorized Biography'', Grand Central Publishing, November, 2003, p. 184, {{ISBN\|0-446-53073-5}}</ref></blockquote> She traveled with [[Lynyrd Skynyrd]] for a feature article about their second-to-last tour, and was captivated by the late [[Ronnie Van Zant\|Ronnie Van Zant's]] spirit, although he told her that he didn't expect to live to see thirty. He would die in a plane crash a year and a half later.<ref>Uhelszki, Jaan. (March, 1976) "Lynyrd Skynyrd: Fifths and Fists For The Common Man," ''Creem''.</ref><ref name=Venus2002 />
