Gene Simmons: Ubermunsch
Gene Simmons: Ubermunsch by Roxanne McDonald
 |
Even his kids and longtime love poke healthy, loving fun at his self-proclaimed superiority. |
It was therefore that much fun to watch the reprisal of “Gene Simmons’ Family Jewels” this weekend—a re-run of several of the reality TV installments (run again to promote excitement for the next season–Simmons getting extension for his second most-watched reality show on A&E).
Just as interesting the second time around were the
highlighted ego trips to Self-aggrandizement City, the showcased successful attitudes, adventures, and ventures, and the behind-the-scenes good-humored parodies of the KISS legend with that long old tongue.
As he told the therapist in an appointment Shannon won at auction, money is not important, it is THE most important thing. So while Shannon is concerned with his eating disorder, his habit of folding t.p. into little squares, and his lack of desire to marry or have any more kids, Gene is concerned with ways to make even MORE money.
He launches the Gene Simmons Bikini Car Wash, establishes the Gene Simmons Fetish Beauty Pageant, and creates several other ventures with his name attached.
After all, his name is what sells the product or service, his name is what confirms for him his legendary status, and his name is what perpetuates his belief in his own godliness.
