There was an excellent interview of Gene Simmons on Fresh Air
yesterday. They really went toe to toe. Unfortunately, apparently
there is some ownership issue, cause you can't play it from the Fresh
Air archives. But here is a short transcript of the end of the show
that will give you a taste
TG : Now, clothes that you've worn on stage. You wear
fishnets
GS : No, fire your research person, no fish nets
TG : I was sure I'd seen you in them, but I trust you
GS : Don't ever do that, I'm a man
TG : Let's get to the studded codpiece -- Do you have a
sense of humor about that
GS : No it holds in my manhood, otherwise it would be too
much for you to take. You'd have to put the book down
and confront life. The notion is if you're going to
welcome me with open arms you also have to welcome me
with open legs
TG : That's a really obnoxious thing to say
GS : No it's not, why should I say something behind your
back that I can't tell you to your face
TG : Has it come to this? Is this the only way you can talk
to a woman, with that schtick
GS : Let me ask you something, why is it schtick when all
women have ever wanted since we crawled out of caves
is, "why can't a man just tell me the truth and speak
to me plainly". So if I do that, you can't have it both
ways.
TG : So you really have no sense of humor about this do you
GS : I'm laughing all the way
TG : Yea to the bank
GS : Of course, don't I sound like a happy guy
TG : Not really to be honest with you
GS : I was going to suggest you get outside of the musty
place where you can count the dust particles falling
around you and get out into the world and see what
everybody else is doing.
TG : Having sex with you?
GS : Well if you chose but you'd have to stand in line
TG : Ok well we might as well get to this since you keep
bringing this up
GS : I didn't, you did
TG : You write that you've had 4600 sexual liasions
GS : You're supposed to say so far
TG : So far. To you this will be asking the obvious but why
have you wanted so many encounters
GS : M-a-n, the notion is plain
TG : I'd like to think the personality you presented on our
show today is a persona that you've affected as a
member of Kiss, but that you're not nearly as obnoxious
when you're at home or with friends
GS : Fair enough, and I'd like to think that the boring lady
who's talking to me now is a lot sexier and more
interesting than the one's who's doing NPR, studious
and reserved.
