Re: Gene Simmons and Terry Gross

["Gary Francis" <garyfrancis@sockhop.net>]

I heard Gene Simmons interviewed on "Monsters of the Mid-day" (a show we
NEED here in Boston) while vacationing in Orlando last month.  What an
arrogant blow-hard he is!  All he wanted to do was mention his book's title
every few seconds. Then he interrupted the host and said, "Hey, listen, it's
your choice....shorter questions..longer answers.. or longer questions, I
give shorter answers...your choice".  The host, Russ Rollins, who is a
die-hard Kiss fan was speechless, and that rarely ever happens.  After
Simmons was gone (it was a phone interview) the co-hosts all agreed that he
had sucked as a guest, but out of respect for Rollins they kept quiet while
he was on the phone.
