Does Rock Still Roll?

LOCATION: Hard Rock Cafe , Las Vegas

TAGS: kiss

PUBLISHED: April 2, 2008

Flipping trough the channels, about 10 PM.

Life of Ryan.

Flip.

America's Traffic Cop.

Flip.

Gene Simmons Family Jewels.

Stop for a second, but only because it's my only choice.

23 minutes of scripted crap. Gene Simmons stuck in the desert on his way to a big show. Gets a lift with a trucker. Carrot Top comes to pick him up. Late for his show. The drama.

I barely make it through the first commercial set, but only because the dog is sleeping on the remote.

Gene gets on the stage, finally, after a bunch of boring dialogue. Yawn.

Show ends with him refusing a $50M offer to play his boring beatnick show in Vegas 8 times a week.

Finally get the remote back and turn it off.

Did we, the masses, create this junk? Was it what we wanted? Did we not realize that by swapping music files like marbles that we were going to disrupt the very soul of Rock and Roll?

Gene, get an acoustic guitar. Rent a little cabin. Write some music and go back out and entertain.

Please!
