Gene Simmons ( KISS)
This was filmed in Iraq at a USO tour of a US Marine Base.

Go Gene Go!...and God Bless Our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines!

Gene is a smart, patriotic man, something a lot of peeps don't know, he was interviewed and I para phrase, but was asked about the war in the middle east, terrorist in particular, and He is from there, He said " No you cannot negotiate with them, they want to kill you and your family, and the only thing that will stop them is killing them "

Saw him interviewed on a business talk show. VERY smart and savvy man. I do not enjoy his music or his style of show, but he's very good at his market niche.
ADDENDUM:
Now having watch the video, I think I will enjoy his music a little bit more now.

Long time KISS fan....cool video.

Never was a Kiss fan, but you got to respect a stand up guy.

And honestly, how hard is this? If you make your money selling records to 16-25 year olds, what the hell is your excuse for not entertaining the troops? If Afghanistan is too much for you, what about South Korea, or Gitmo or Kosovo? Hell, go to Fort Bragg. Even Emeril managed that one. ::) How hard is it? The USO foots the bill, all you have to do is show up. Why should they get "The fogies of rock"? I mean, due respect to Gene Simmons, but where are all the guys and gals making millions now? You can't take a plane ride, eat bad food and spend a week of your life for these guys and gals? They'll be the most appreciative audience you've ever seen. Why aren't you there? >:(

And that appreciation can last generations.
I bet every member of this board knows who Bob Hope was, and appreciates him for what he did for 4 or 5 generations of troops.
