Gene Simmons Gives Trash T.V. a Big KISS

Gene Simmons was on "Crossing Over" this morning. Normally, I would not write such things for fear of exposing the fact that I actually watch "Crossing Over." But it bears mentioning. Sans Kiss makeup, Simmons sat down and listened as C.O.'s "psychic" host, John Edward, threw incredibly vague questions at him in hopes of establishing contact between Simmons and The Deceased: Do you know anyone whose name begins with R? Come on! You must know somebody whose name begins with R! What about G? Anyone whose name begins with G? Anyone whose name has a G in it? Anyone who knows anyone whose name has a G in it? What about N?

And, politely as could be, Simmons tried to answer these questions. Well, I did live with Diana Ross for three years. Her name has an R in it!

I cannot understand this. Here is a man who was once interviewed by NPR's Terry Gross, and the only thing he had to say in response to her hard-researched questions was, and I quote, "If you're going to welcome me with open arms, you also have to welcome me with open legs." Yet he holds John Edward in the highest regard. I love Kiss's music as much as anyone, but if there really is a "Carnival of Souls," I hope the dead aren't making it their highest priority to commune with Simmons. Is the afterlife really as boring as this life?
