You gotta give Gene Simmons a prize for monetizing Rock and Roll from what I have heard.

Gene Simmons, the lead singer was not an idiot. He recognized what sold and played to an audience of idiots. Come on, Simmons has advanced degrees, speaks several languages, and is anything but stupid. He was willing to do what it took to sell to a market.

If people enjoy the music and the show why does that make them suckers?

...but they all became members of Knights in Satan's Service! I remember the 1970's. Things got scary when the rock 'n' rollers started working for Satan! For only pure evil can rock and roll all night AND party ever-y-day.
