Awake early within the morning and I bet you never knew the true story of this Gene Simmons. Yeah he does have this reality show and as well he has this band named KISS along with fellow musician Paul Stanley. Last night I watched this new season episode just by chance. I never thought I would see Gene actually talking about his past as most see the man as being one of the likes of Donald Trump or those of which believe they are above the law. Simmons is Hungarian as well he is jewish. When I watched last nights story it reminded me of a man I knew here in Edmonton Alberta which had made it throught the camps his name was Peter Norris. I love music but Gene is much different to that of what we see on television or typecast as a rock legend. He came to America and the story he tells of his mother's passage from the camps to be able to get to America was something that I had known about but never seen it spoken about. I am partially Hungarian by way of my mothers side. What I loved within this show was the story of the man which created a foundation not based on color or creed. A very touching show of last night and if you wish I think you might be surprised with this side of Gene Simmons. Here is the link: http://youtu.be/vkgDAZanDVQ At the very end, the person whom Utubed this went into another area for the last 30 seconds. However, aside of that it's a decent story of a son and his mother who triumphed and as well I love the thought of Anne Franks' father - as he lost his entire family but wished to have a foundation of sorts which is not for just one faith, nor colour or creed. I have met Shannon's mother here in town as well - I am still waiting for a call back with respect to meeting Gene since he flys here with Shannon and family nearly every quarter to visit Shannons mother. But the story is that which I truly found profound.
