The backstage bathroom has Seventh Generation tissues. Eco-friendly tissues. And I think these 20 foot tall silver sparkly hoop things next to me that will be in an upcoming dance number are also probably recycled. From the Solid Gold set.

When you’re all style and no substance, isn’t that just another side of the same coin? Too much, too little, it’s still the same when it comes to controlled substance-less-ness: abuse.

I don’t care how many of you send me the link. I am not going to watch the Gene Simmons sex tape and you simply cannot make me.

And let’s not even mention the retail stores, staffed by inept floor walkers and clogged with fake leather cases, ionic air lung scorchers and fake chromed plastic as far as the eye could see.
