Showing Original Post only (View all)KISS My Ass Washed Up Rocker Tells The Poor To Worship His Money [View all]
The San Diego Union-Tribune had an interview with veteran rocker Gene Simmons from the band Kiss recently which went off the rails very early, revealing that self-styled marketing genius is little more than another self-entitled freeloader who believes he owes nothing to his fan base for the lifestyle he now lives.
From the article:
When asked how it felt being part of the 1 percent, the genius behind Kiss Meet The Phantom had this to say.
Its fantastic! The 1 percent pays 80 percent of all taxes. Fifty percent of the population of the U.S. pays no taxes. The 1 percent provides all the jobs for everybody else. If the 1 percent didnt exist, there would be chaos and the American economy would drop dead. Try being nice to rich people. I dont remember the last poor person who gave me a job.

This reminds me of how TSR (producers of D&D) was destroyed in the late 80s and 90s.

Well, hey Gene, as far as your bass playing goes . . . you're a really good businessman.
