I Guess I'm Easily Amused
I'm not sure why this quote cracks me up so much, but I love it. It was delivered by the eminently quotable Gene Simmons of KISS, in an interview with Guitar World magazine in October 1998:
"I would rather listen to the Spice Girls any day of the week than to some seattle band dressed like lumberjacks trying to convince me they're suicidal and depressed when they're young, healthy, rich, famous and getting all the pussy they want."
Maybe it's the brazen, unapologetic, meathead reductionist approach to valuing human happiness. But I also love the fact that nobody told Gene that the "Seattle sound" was so dead by October of 1998 that U.S. flannel prices were at their lowest levels in decades.
