Billy Joel is still reluctant. Some will do celebrity licensing only overseas. So you have Mariah Carey fashions in Asia and Celine Dion eyewear in Japan. Hypocrisy, Simmons charges. I'm so glad I'm in Kiss instead of those other bands that worry about credibility.
Credibility is the shortest cut to a boring life.
Credibility means you're concerned with media and the intelligentsia and other big words like gymnasium. We've always been the black sheep of rock 'n' roll. We're never in style. Style and fashion and credibility, it's the biggest load of hokey malarkey I've ever heard. It means you have to check with someone else before you do anything.
