I have no opinion on Gene Simmons’ music, although I appreciate his statement.

However, I am disappointed in Elvis Costello. It’s not because I am a big fan. He’s OK. His wife (Diana Krall) should have chosen better.

Pick me! Pick Me! Pick Me!

I like Simmons as well but I thought Kiss was atrocious. You have to separate the politics from the music although it can be frustrating. For example I'm a big fan of Bonnie Raitt who I think is the best female talent of the last 30 years. She has 10X the talent of Madonna, GaGa, or any of the popular female artists. I absolutely despise the woman's leftist politics. She occasionally injects politics into her show. This is frustrating for me but I've learned to live with it.

Another AH who thinks he's smarter than what he is. He hasn't done jack for a very long time and his ventures into other forms of music have been embarrassing. You are right, his wife should have chosen better, but I'll wager she's a dim bulb herself. Additionally Krall would not be where she is if she were not very attractive. She's not that strong of a singer. I'm not gonna knock her because she is trying to elevate the music her audience likes. Try Jane Monheit as better substitute.
