musicNEWS: Gene Simmons Too Raunchy For Bookstore

KISS’s Gene Simmons is apparently “too raunchy” for Borders Books. The book chain giant has reportedly pulled the plug on future in-store appearances by the fire breathing bass player turned author. 

Things apparently got out of control during Simmons appearances in Borders Books locations, where he turned up to sign copies of his new book, “Sex, Money, KISS”. 

Simmons told New York Post gossip columnist Cindy Adams, "Is it my fault women come in and lift their tops or stick their butts in my face for me to autograph? The book's Sex Money Kiss, not the New Testament." Simmons added, "Bookstores are quiet places...they're not equipped for a party atmosphere. My fans aren't swinging from chandeliers, but they're enthusiastic and often in cleavage."

Add advice guru to Simmons resume which already includes titles such as teacher, musician, producer, author, magazine publisher, record company mogul and sex fiend. Simmons claims that his new book should be look upon as “a sort of advice manual”. He told Yahoo’s Launch media, "I'm happy to say that Sex Money Kiss offers the kind of advice you always suspected was true, but never actually heard anybody tell you to your face--which is basically that you're a loser, and it's time to wake up."

So Simmons thinks that the people that read his book are losers? Nice way to endure yourself to your fans Gene.
