I Agree With Gene Simmons
Rolling Stone magazine has a giant hardon for Radiohead. The magazine thinks Radiohead is the second coming of the Beatles. Well I don't. In fact, Radiohead blows goats for quarters...nay dimes.
Radiohead recently allowed fans to pay what they want for their newest album "In Rainbows." This is a direct quote from Rolling Stone:
"As the January 3rd release date of the compac-disc version of Radiohead's In Rainbows draws nearer, several artists have finally elected to open up about In Rainbows creative marketing strategy (Or rather, how Radiohead pissed them off by thinking outside the box)."
We could have done without the "pissed them off by thinking outside the box" comment. And honestly, how "out of the box" is allowing fans to pay what they want? Napster and Kazaa users have been paying what they want for years.
Naturally any dissenting opinion on Radiohead's greatness to Rolling Stone will be shot down with unwitty sarcasm. Greed $immons chimed in on Radiohead. Here is the set up Rolling Stone used for the Greed quote:
"Even Kiss' Gene Simmons took time out of his busy writing-about-prostitues schedule to intelligently discuss Radiohead's course."
Here is what Greed said:
"That’s not a business model that works. I open a store and say ‘Come on in and pay whatever you want.’ Are you on fucking crack? Do you really believe that’s a business model that works?”
Rolling Stone added this:
"The outburst also spurred Simmons to ask his lawyers if he could produce a Kiss-branded crack."
Hold on a second I have to laugh.
Oh wow, that was healthy. I laughed so hard at Rolling Stone's Greed $immons Kiss Crack comment I decided to create a mockup of what it might look like:
