Now that KISS bassist Gene Simmons has taken the reins of his own Twitter account, things have become exponentially more interesting. If we can tolerate state-sponsored millionaire puppets creeping around and hassling us to read and learn, then why can’t we take the same advice from this guy?

Any other additions to Simmons’ reading list? Analysis of current events, maybe?

@genesimmons read your bible more gene—lol!!!

@genesimmons On current events, how do you feel about the recent pressure Alicia Keys received to cancel her Tel Aviv performance?

And just when he had won us over, Simmons shattered our impression by revealing that the fire breathing isn’t spontaneous but written right into the set list. We suppose we can let that slide.
