Gene,
Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us at the airport in Minot, ND on Sunday! You made my husband and daughters dream come true! (and mine). We took all five of our kids to the concert the night before and it was awsome! They will never forget their first KISS concert. Our 4 other kids were at home when we met you at the airport, so Kayla, our oldest, has to rub it in that she met you and got her picture taken with you.
Thank you soooo much for coming to Minot, ND!

Gene,
We all know you're a very busy man. Can you please explain how your balance "family vs work". Im getting my ear chewed off because I work 40+ at my regular job and run my own business as well. So, as you can imagine my time is very limited. I have a family, house, cars, pets, you know the normal stuff but I work 60 hours a week to provide a nice home, food, cars, vacations and . How do you balance it and have quality time with your family.

Response from Gene:
You are getting your ears chewed off, because you allow it.
Try this -- "Ok, you go out and earn all the money and pay all the bills. I'll stay at home, change diapers, and watch reruns of I Love Lucy."
Hey,
How come Gene, you're not in more motion pictures? I think you made a
great villain in Runaway and that is a dated 80's flick. It would be nice
to see you in a modern horror/thriller film playing a villain or killer
because you are an underrated actor.
Thanks

Thanks. I wish I had the time. I was in EXTRACT this past year -- Mike Judge directed.
Hey, i'm Tim Simpson. I'm 16 and i'm almost Nick's height. Yeah, so i was wondering what do i do if a woman gets too attached?
Tim
Response from Gene:
Talk to her.
Tell the truth.
Hello,
My dad died a few years ago and my 82 year old mom has found you. She started watching your show and all your reruns. She says you make her laugh all the time and keep her heart going. I just want to say THANK YOU.
THANKS AGAIN,
Pat Maloon
Hello Gene,
I've been a big fan for a long time. I was watching your tv show and you mentioned a co-habitation agreement. I was wondering if that's a normal document that a lawyer would have or is it something I have to have drawn up specially for me?
Keep on Rockin', and thank you for your answer.

Talk to your lawyer.
Gene and band mates,
I was at the Indiana State Fair show last night and witnessed four guys working harder than could be possibly imagined to deliver an amazing show to their fans who paid hard-earned, Recession weakened dollars to see "The Hottest Show on Earth".
How do you guys do it? I'm 43, and was effected by the 100 degree heat, leaving the show completely dehydrated, and I didn't have to work my ass off dancing around under the stadium lights for two hours. Thankfully, Dr. Pepper Cherry was giving everyone leaving the show a six-pack of Dr. Pepper Cherry soda. Gene Daddy to the Rescue!
Gene, you just turned 60, correct? And your band mates certainly aren't far behind? You've also got to wear those hot, elaborate costumes and face paint! Seriously, how do you guys deal with these Summer temperatures during a show? Didn't Paul Stanley suffer heat exhaustion a couple of years ago? Are there cool air blowers on stage? How do you prepare? Do your doctors offer medical advice and do you keep a doctor with you on tour?
I watched as the sweat wiped the make-up completely off your chin and you didn't slow down, appear to pace yourself or break character due to the discomfort! Paul was still smiling at the end! Everyone's hair looked great; is there any kind of hair spray that will withstand that level of humidity? It certainly was the hottest show on Earth. The fans want answers!
Fairly Hot at the Fair,
Rod Whitenack
Response from Gene:
It's a privilege and an honor to be allowed to play for you.
Hard work is good for the heart and soul.
Thank you.
Gene,
Thank you! I am blown away, speechless actually, upon receiving an email from Dean pertaining to the email I sent you about the Minot Meet and Greet. I did not know what to expect after I sent it and thank you so much for setting me up with the M&G at Blossom next month. I just wanted to write you a quick note saying thanks. I knew you cared about the fans and this act of kindness proves it once again.
Thank you so very much.
Sincerely,
Michael Gershe
Mr. Simmons,
I wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for being a
good character model for those who watch your show. Honestly, I cant
say I'm a big fan of KISS but I can say I have become a fan of yours.
Watching your show has given me an insight into the way you deal with
your family, business affairs, and organizations such as those that deal
with military personnel. As a social studies teacher from the midwest,
its refreshing to find good things on TV to watch such as your show. I
think, among other things, it gives those kids who want to go on to have
a future in the music business a great idea of what one can accomplish
regardless of his or her back ground.
Thanks again and good luck in
your future endevours.
Mike King
Would you be in favor of a merchandise stand at your funeral?

Response from Gene:
Sure. Why not? Have a sense of humor about life. We're all going to get a turn at the end.
