The self-righteousness on this thread regarding Mr Simmons' private life astounds me. I mean, the man just pretty much just stood up in public and said, "GOD BLESS AMERICA!" And some folks here can't just take that for what it's worth, and have to get all holy and "That thar feller ain't right with the Lawd" on him.

Ragging on Gene Simmons for being a promiscuous rock star. Then what about Uncle Ted Nugent? He wasn't just hunting for game meat, he bagged more than his quota of groupie-tail back in the day. And hell be the first one to tell you so.

And like Uncle Ted, Gene has a loathing for drugs. Ever heard what Mr Simmons has to say about that topic? He says that it is a poison that robs the user of all potential as a human being. Does that sound like the ravings of a self-destructive libertine to you?

Look, the way I see it, we're involved in a cultural war between those who hate America and want to turn her into an anemic, neo-euro-trahy nanny state, and we who love liberty and living our lives as we see fit. And when at war, you have to accept any help you can get.

How many thousands of times would he have had to say "no thanks" to not be promiscuous? Could you imagine saying to hottie after hottie "Sorry, but I think I'll just curl up with the latest John le Carré novel instead of partying with you. G'night!"

Amen, brother : )

I'm of the opinion that being rich and famous doesn't make your opinion any more valid than anyone else's, and I don't agree with everything Gene said. But it's always a nice surprise to see someone in the entertainment industry show some sense - especially from the side of the industry that is often portrayed as being dead from the neck up (like Heavy Metal) It's like when I discovered that Iron Maiden's lead singer likes fencing... SuRpRiSe!!!!
