Dear Mr. Simmons

Today I had the opportunity to hear part of your interview on the Roan show, radio 690 am.
I cannot begin to tell you how impressed I was with, some of what you were saying, about education and speaking correctly etc... I have two sons and they are budding musicians, which I encourage, however I am always telling them how important it is for them to be educated. I will not go into the reasons why, because after listening to you I know you have an in depth idea of why it is so.
My reason for sending you this e-mail, (a highly unusual practice for me) is to THANK YOU, because you are a clear and perfect example of what I try to teach them. Hearing it from someone like you who is "cool" and successful in the vertiginous world of music, is a lot better that hearing it from their tiresome mom.
Thank you again for your time, and your wise words.

Sincerely,

Maria Aparicio
Santa Clarita, CA

Dear Gene,

I've noticed, there havebeen a few people who have mentioned the interview you had with Terry Gross, on NPR. I read and listened to that interview on the Internet sometime ago. I have to say, I didn't care for the NPR forum. Terry's research was poor, she obvious never opened your book, and she desperately needs a sense of humor. I like your, "take no sh*t, honest attitude." She deserved everything you dished out and more.

Did you see her on Bill O'Reilly last week? She had previously interviewed him on NPR. He walked out of the interview with her. For that she was reprimanded by her own ombudsman. Mr. O'Reilly, being the the gentleman he is invited Terry on his show. He promoted her new book, "All I Did Was Ask". Furthermore, he confronted her about his interview. All her responses were lame. As always, Mr. O'Reilly was fair, honest and direct.

I went up to the store to take a peek at her book. There is a paragraph written about you in the introduction, and part of the interview is printed in the book. Terry didn't seem to like the fact you said, "KISS is not just a band , it's a brand." Some people just don't like others making! money. Other than that, she really had nothing more to say. Her book is all interviews you can read on NPR website for free. I would prefer to spend my money on one of your books, at least you have something valuable say.

If you declined the interviewto be broadcasted, then why is Terry allowed to have it in her book? If someone, in the future, asks the publisher to use part of the interview, don't they pay for that? Terry is making money on this book, where's your cut? Is there a fine line I'm missing here. Thanks for your time.

Love,
Ginny

Hi Gene,

Last night here in The Netherlands, your cartoon "My Dad The Rockstar" had it's premiere on Nickelodeon. We just want you to know how much we enjoyed it. We pitty that it is synchronised in Dutch, so we don't have the original voices, but i guess we get used to it. We, being my twin sons and me, who are 9 Years old and are becomming 2 clones of me and my ex wife. Meaning: VERY BIG KISS FANS. Ha Ha Ha!!!
So, we will follow Willy's adventures on the foot (typical dutch phrase) and hope there will be more series to come.
Many greetinng from Holland.
Burde, Brian and Barrie.

Gene,

as I sat and watched the presidential debate the other night, I immediately noticed one thing, neither candidate-Bush or Kerry, spoke about the economy. They went back and forth, over and over trying to find a middle ground on the war on terrorism. I was just wondering what your take was on the debate? Did it's outcome make you want to change your vote? KISSRMYSFC

Response from Gene:

No.

Gene,

With all your talk about marriage and how when it ends the man pays 50%, well if that's the case, then how come I being a woman got absolulety nothing when I got divorced? LOL

Regards,
Lisa

Response from Gene:

My point precisely. You EXPECT money. A man does not.

Hi Gene,

Yesterday was the TV-premiere of your cartoonshow "My Dad The Rockstar" in Holland and all the characters spoke Dutch. The voice of Rockzilla is done by Barry Hay of the Golden Earring. The tv-premiere was followed by a making off...showing clips of KISS video's and a little interview by You at Nickelodeon. Barry Hay spoke about KISS, that the band was once the support act of golden earring and that you weren't allowed to spit blood on their stage! Is this true???

Sincerely,
CAROL

Response from Gene:

Yes.

Dear Gene,

In the upcoming election there are a lot of questions that people want answered by the candidates that would clarify their stance for leading our nation.  I have been thinking of, if given a chance, what would I ask them that would help me better understand what it is they stand for. I have narrowed them down to four questions for them to answer and give their reasoning why. I was wondering if you would take a stab at answering them. We can assume we know what you might say on them and some could know the reasons why, but only asking can we be perfectly clear.


1. Love or Money?
2. Respect or Trust?
3. Faith or Religion?
4. Elvis or the Beatles?


I believe with these, a person can get insight to personality traits that you can’t get by just focusing on war policies, oil prices, and tax plans.

Give it a shot

Kirby

Response from Gene:

I think you're kidding yourself. There is only one issue in time of war. How to win it. You can worry about everything else later.

Hey Gene,

In response to the letter about you being on the Oprah Winfrey show about just how long your tongue is, and you said "Long Enough To Make You my Closest Friend" How about you showing me just how long your tongue is, and what tricks you can do with your long and luscious tongue, and I will show you what I can do with my tongue in return. Tell ya this Gene, only if you knew what I do to you in my dreams, promise you this you and your tongue have become my Closest Friend.
Take care, love ya lotz xoxo
Love Always Your Devoted KISS Fan,
Shirley
Ps. Hope to see ya in 2005 xoxo
