Simmons should run for gov of CA...couldn’t be worse than the govenator.
He’s a big supporter of the troops, good father and entrepreneur...
Took too long to marry the mother of his kids, though...
But then, Ahnold had a prob like that too.

You’re right: they did get mariried last year. Makes no difference. FReepers complain all the time about couples who have kids out of wedlock. That was my point. Where’s the outrage?

It’s very well-known that he has cheated on Shannon over the years. So, 28 years together only means Shannon is an idiot for putting up with it.

Again, I was pointing out the general lack of moral outrage by posters. Just because you agree with someone’s politics shouldn’t mean they get a pass for crappy morals when others don’t.

Gene Simmons does have an unusually long tongue, but he comes by it naturally, not due to surgery or getting a tongue transplant from a human or animal.

In any event, this did result in an amusing illustration when he was dating Cher. It showed her wearing an elaborate metal crown she had used as part of a stage costume, with him standing behind her, his tongue weaving in and out of her crown like a snake.
