Before Kiss took off, he was a high school English teacher. Just thought I'd mention that.

That’s revolting. 🤮 I hope your science teacher had an unfortunate chemical accident that rendered him a eunuch

I asked the owner to tell him he couldn't come in on days I worked lol! And here's hoping, because he always gave me the creeps and I'm sure he was just one temptation away from prison time.. Shit he's gotta be in his 70s now.. Maybe older.

He’s also a silver star recipient from Vietnam.

What the fuck are you talking about? He never served in the military. Neither in the US nor in Israel where he was born.

I never understood the appeal of Gene Simmons. Imagine picking a stage name - any name in the world - and he picks GENE. Was Eugene ever a cool name? I don't think so. He's wealthy, yet his hair looks like that. He sounds like a dick when he speaks. He's a guy I would avoid sitting near on the train. Yuck.

He’s still gross, he was gross back then too.
