Gene,

I saw you guys for the first time as a 12 year old in Greensboro, NC on New Years Eve. A youngster named Billy Squirer was in the opening band named "Piper". I can't tell you what that night meant to me.

Now, I am 40ish with a 7 year old and a 5 year old. The seven year old named Noah is as much a Kiss fanatic as I am. I took him to the Atlanta show in Sept. 03 and then to Knoxville in Dec.03. I cried at his happiness both times. The shows were as they always will be, the best in the business. The little man stood through the entire Atlanta show because he couldn't see over the fans in front. He didn't care. I am attaching a pic of us that night.

Thanks so much for the music, memories and much happiness,
Tim Somers





KISS is still alive!!!

It is impressive when According to Jim, Jim Belushi, wears a Gene Simmons costume. I loved the episode. Just goes to show that you know how to keep your name out there after 30 years. In addition, it goes to show the business mind that you have. You are fantastic and I look forward to meeting you some day, just hoing some some of that positive energy wears off on me. We have your audio tapes and listen to them daily. They are a definate motivator... Keep up the fantastic work that you do. Ruth

Gene

I know you probably get this all the time but you are my Idol. I am in the navy and I was in Iraq a little over a year ago the only CD I took with me was The Destroyer Album and I decided to introduce "God of Thunder" to the Iraqi people Many enjoyed it but a couple of them ran away screaming I wonder Why. thanks for all you do.

Very Respectfully

Response from Gene:

And, they used KISS lettering for all their signage....



I thought you would like this picture! Keep on Rockin and Happy Halloween!

Please understand I am not blaming men for my recent failures, this is just life as I know these days. I say to men everywhere: You want us to go out and "do something?" Well then, get over yourself and LET US. You can't push us out of the kitchen and expect us not to try and enter your corporate world. You can't have it both ways, you decide. 

I'm interested to hear your thoughts.

Response from Gene:

You're right. You get picked on because of your boobs. And fat people get picked because they're fat. And old people get picked on because they're "over the hill and their opinions aren't current"...And young people are considered inexperienced and therefore their opinions don't count...

Ad infinitum. Ad nauseam..

Stop whining all of you and just go and do it.


--------------------------------------------

It's not often I agree with Gene, but this is one of those rare moments. Anyway, I can relate to the young woman above, it's difficult - but it's really your own fault. Men can't look past your shapely butt and perky boobs, and right there lies your power as a woman. Stop complaining already! Why are you depended on men for a job? If you can't find one, then make one. Or, shock horror, start as an executive secretary and use it as a stepping stone or learning curve. You can't really expect to walk into the corporate world and start right at the top can you? There's a ladder and it needs climbing - how fast you climb it and the "tools" you use to climb it is up to you. Even if you have to use your bewildering ass to get there.

From personal experience I have found that women can be a lot worse than men. If you are better qualified, better looking, nicer, a bigger threat, etc. they will find a way to give the job to someone else! For 2 years I wandered from female interviewer to female interviewer. The first question all of them asked was invariably, do you plan on getting pregnant in the next 5 years? Men were always more concerned about my qualifications than my family plans.

So, here is the part where I agree with Gene. Stop whining already, you seem like an ambitious, intelligent woman. You don't need men to make something of yourself! If this means you have to work as a mail clerk until you can make your dreams come true, then so be it! Nothing comes of itself and nothing happens overnight.

I am a 26 year old female (in case you wondered) and I've had my own business for the past 3 years. I am qualified to be more, but I've worked as a waitress, a copyright reader and a receptionist. I learned something valuable from all those jobs. Bill Gates once said that flipping burgers isn't beneath anyone and that you should see every job as an opportunity, not a burden (or something along those lines).

Response from Gene:

And then, of course, one can always hide one's curves...and men can wear loose pants to hide their bulges. We all have to figure out what works in the work place...and what works elsewhere.



Hey, Gene!

Tomorrow is my 28th birthday! Since I can't party with my favorite rock god I'll just have to do it up as best I can! I'm sure I won't disappoint anyone!

Kisses,

Nicki Jones

BTW, I got one of my presents already... maybe you could help me break it in? It's the most gorgeous whip I've ever seen! (naughty grin)





You There...

I just wanted to whisper a little something to You...You know...every woman walks through life with a ...void. An empty space that she...is always dreaming...that it will one day...be filled. Certainly,...you understand this concept...I can tell...so listen closely...

The criteria for this....void....is....extensive....

However,...I wanted You to know...My void...is being somewhat...occupied...By You...I just wanted You to become aware....of the comfort...You so...sweetly provide...

And also....(whisper)...I wanted You to understand...

You fill it...quite well...

Fits Like A Glove...enough said...

I'm Breathless...

Response from Gene:

Oh boy...
