Gene Simmons is reportedly one of the twenty wealthiest living musicians.
A 1977 Gallup poll named them the most popular band in America. They’ve had thirty Gold albums, more than any other band before or since. To this day, I’m not sure what my mother did with that demon hamper, but I hope she buried it deep.Īs music success stories go, Kiss’ is perhaps the most unconventional. So, it just sat there, used but strenuously avoided, until 1991, when I replaced it with a New York Giants laundry bin. But, I was too afraid to get rid of it, secretly assuming that if I did, Kiss would return in spirit form, with twice the bloodlust. And, for most of the 80s, I could not name a single song by them. Neither of my parents were fans of the band. I honestly have no idea how it got there. I could not see the star power or the science fiction or the glam. In fact, I generally tried to avert my gaze from it. Really, it was just an aluminum cylinder into which I tossed my dirty clothes, but which I never touched. I guess it was not technically a hamper because it had no lid. For about a decade - between 19 - a Kiss hamper sat in the corner of my childhood bedroom.
