The only thing that’s been able to tear us away from widescreen Tetris this morning has been the marvellously entertaining email exchange between Kiss frontman Gene Simmons and music industry blogger Bob Lefsetz. The latter wrote a post about Simmons’ presentation at the CMS conference that was, well, not entirely adulatory. And Simmons fired back his response, which Lefsetz has now published as a follow-up. “SAYS WHO, BITCH, YOU? AND WHAT’S THE NAME OF YOUR BAND. AND WHAT’S YOUR QUALIFICATION FOR SAYING OR DOING ANYTHING?” is one sample, but the whole thing is essential reading, really.
