I have to say one of the greatest surprises in the crazed world of entertainment to me has been Gene Simmons. He is one man with his head screwed on right despite the fame and fortunes. His show Family Jewels is one of the very few shows I watch, and the only reality show I watch. He had one episode where his daughter was doing a homework paper on the military, so he took her out to Camp Pendelton to visit. A Drill Instructor ran him and her both through the confidence course. In the background, he got the KISS band together and wrote a new song with a good version of all the military anthems culminating with the Marine Corps Hymn. Then they did a volunteer show on base where they played it.
And besides that, I was most impressed in the days right after 9-11 when Gene Simmons was one of the few stars interviewed saying he fully supported Bush and the wars and his only complaint was that we need to hit back even harder than we did.
KISS is good peoples.
Ace Freely looks horrid in those pictures though.
