Bill Aucoin turns 66(6)

I'd like to wish a very happy birthday to the man that contributed to making Gene Simmons a very wealthy man, Mr. Bill Aucoin.   Aucoin managed KISS from 1973-82.... arguably KEY years for making KISS who they are.

Oh, and now he manages Lordi.  I guess he has a thing for ridiculous stage costumes.

Gene Does Good

Back in April Gene Simmons and his family posed for pictures as a part of the NOH8 campaign that went on.

Obviously, this was awesome of them.  BUT, they have taken it even one step more towards awesomeness and Gene has agreed to make a commercial (for no money, which is EPIC for him) for the same campaign.  I am honestly proud of Mr. Simmons and seriously looking forward to seeing this. 

 The only update I can give on this as of now is Gene's latest 'tweet' which said:

"Just filmed a PSA (public service announce) for NoH8... 30,000 suicides every year (!!!) of young people who see no hope...no way out..."

I'm excited to see this commercial and glad Gene is supporting such an important issue.  I'm sure all those years working with Paul Stanley helped.

Gene & Paul Get Affectionate

Gene loves the trannys!

My favorite money loving jew, and my favorite tranny have joined forces!   Who am I talking about?   None other than the charming Gene Simmons and the ever-so-fabulous Amanda Lepore.   This is delightful.

Who's older?

Normally the 'birthday posts' really aren't that thrilling, but we have 2 MASSIVE birthdays today and 2 mildy entertaining ones.  First off, the two lesser ones (not that lame, but come on, now):  Vivian Campbell (famous for guitars in Def Leppard, but was in Dio and Whitesnake, too) and Spider One who is famous for being Rob Zombie's brother Powerman 5000.   Well, as you could probably guess, Vivian is the older of the two- he's 47 today and Spider is 41 (Rob Zombie is 44 just for reference).

NOW... the two biggies: ROB HALFORD and GENE SIMMONS!  Here is the interesting part.... Guess who is older?   Do you have your guess?  (I was wrong)

Ok, the answer: Gene Simmons is older than Rob Halford by 2 years.   Today Gene turns 60, whilst Halford is a young spry 58.
