Day With Gene Simmons

K: Gene, you have a pretty good life as a rock star.

G.S: (Gives cocky smile) My life isn't good...It's amazing!

K: True, but doesn't it bother you that most of your fans are middle aged women.

G.S: (Laughing) That's not true. We have all kinds of fans. From babies to grown ups.

K: Babies? Really?

G.S: (Smiling) I'm serious. We even have merchandise for babies like KISS pacifiers and KISS bibs.

K: And did you think of making baby merchandise?

G.S: (Sarcastically) No, that was my wife's brilliant idea. Anything that has to do with kids, she's all for it.

K: Oh yeah, you have two kids yourself. So not only are you a rock star, but you're a dad.

G.S: (Smiling proudly) Yup.

K: So how do your kids feel about having a rock star father?

G.S: Nick, my son, is in denial that his dad is cooler than him.

K: And do you think you're cooler than him?

G.S: (Laughing) I was, I mean come on I was the lead singer of KISS. But now I'm passing the torch down to him.

K: Well, here's hoping that he's just as much as a rock star as his dad.
