I talked with Gene Simmons of Kiss about many things.  Opinions?  He's got em.

He's going to meet with The Pope (I'm supposed to capitalize that, right?).

His insight to Donald Trump.

Freedom of Speech.

How KISS writes songs.

I took a page from QC Songwriter and asked him to drill down on one particular song he's proud of writing.

And I asked him about "Hiring Our Heroes", where KISS hires local veterans to be a roadie for a day.

"Hiring Our Heroes, a part of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, is a nationwide initiative to help veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses find meaningful employment. Working with our vast network of state and local chambers and other strategic partners, Hiring Our Heroes has helped hundreds of thousands of veterans and military spouses find meaningful employment through more than 1,000 job fairs in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, and on military installations overseas; a suite of free online resources; and the Hiring 500,000 Heroes campaign." For more information, visit www.KissOnline.com
