This guy just doesn't stop...

So stealth I don't see it.

Quite the opposite. My reference to his real name is to reveal him as a phony and a sad attempt to escape his identity. Perhaps something else? (Please, goldenear1948, no reason to be so reactive.)

Furthermore, I am Jewish, my father was born in Berlin and arrived in the USA with my grandparents, and most of the rest of his family was destroyed in The Holocaust. A handful made it to Israel and the US.

@tablejockey---Oops, I just now finally saw your question from 12-15-17 to me! I’m up in Vancouver Washington now, just over the border from Portland Oregon. A couple drummers I knew in L.A. moved up here before me, one of whom---Jose Medeles of The Breeders---has opened a cool little drum shop, Revival Drums. There is a very active, healthy music scene here, and some good record shops. Music Millennium has a huge amount of floor space dedicated to LP’s. I’m liking it up here. Rather dark and wet, which is a pleasant change from the bright and hot SoCal!

Simmons isn't a phony, he reveals himself in that Gross interview for what he really is, a self centered money grubbing bore. The guy has a serious personality disorder, but maybe I'm mistaken and we are just too "misunderstanding" and should cut him more slack. Interviews as with tweets have a way of revealing fundamental truths.
