GENE SIMMONS Says He is Positive With Being Referred to as An A**gap

Is Gene Simmons an asshole? That’s considerably up for debate, though I’m positive our feedback part can be pleased to weigh in on the topic. However apparently, Simmons is okay with you pondering of him as an asshole. A lot in order that he made some actually problematic comparisons about it. In a latest interview with podcast/YouTube sequence Actually Well-known with Kara Mayer Robinson (that was transcribed by Blabbermouth), Simmons stated, “I’d say there are some — may very well be a big quantity, couldn’t — who suppose I am an asshole. In reality, I named my second solo album ‘Asshole‘, which, I assumed, was akin to black folks taking possession of the ‘n’ phrase. And fats folks, obese folks, overweight folks, taking possession of that, so that you simply reduce the impression of that.”

For those who aren’t black, and also you catch your self saying that one thing you’ve finished is “identical to when black folks do that factor,” I feel it’s okay to only notice what you simply stated, acknowledge it’s a nasty concept to complete the sentence you began, after which simply cease speaking. Gene, persons are referred to as racial slurs for stereotypes which have unfairly been positioned on them due to the race they had been born into, you get referred to as an asshole since you allegedly groped Ace Frehley’s spouse and supported the George W. Bush administration. These aren’t the identical factor.

“I am okay with being labeled or considered an asshole, as a result of I do know who I’m,” he continued. “And there are different individuals who suppose, ‘You solely do that for cash.’ And my response is — after all. Why am I not salt of the earth when virtually all the roles on the face of the planet are carried out by individuals who do not just like the job they’ve, and the one motive they’re doing that’s to have the ability to earn cash to feed their households and put a roof over their head? Just for cash. No one desires to dig ditches on a freeway. The constructing we’re in, any individual needed to put up. They do this on daily basis. They go to work, do the identical factor on daily basis, 9 to 5, 5 days per week. Be a part of the union or not, and break their backs and by no means get wealthy, simply to give you the option… ‘That is the salt of the earth.’ Why cannot I be salt of the [earth]? The truth that I earn more money? However I additionally give to philanthropy. And by the way in which, it is none of your fucking enterprise who or what or the place. I am not attempting to impress you or not. I do know who I’m. And possibly that is the very best factor to do in life, is to only be snug in your personal pores and skin, ‘trigger not all people likes Jesus both.”

…what?

Simmons appears to be swinging wildly from matter to matter right here, however he appears to virtually be attempting to show that he deserves to be referred to as an asshole. So, cool, Gene, I suppose you’re an asshole. Congratulations?
