Okay, how did Gene Simmons during KISS concerts vomit blood on command?
I ask, because it's been a question lingering at the back of my mind since I was a little kid.

My understanding is he had one of those Hollywood squibs (plastic blood-filled bladders) in his cheek and bit into it during God Of Thunder.

Well I can assure you that he wasn't really vomiting blood, because for one that would be totally disgusting, and for two he'd probably have to be hauled off stage in an ambulance.

I wonder if he, Gene Simmons, is somewhere on the spectrum.
I was never into there music. I have never seen Family Jewles. This interview (obviously unscripted) with Terri Gross is why I think it is possible.
His style is very unconventional, intelectual, blunt and not politically correct.

I don't recognize anything he's done that's politically incorrect, except to be a Republican, which is an anathema in the entertainment industry that is predominantly uber-liberal.

No, he's way too social, and gets tail way too easily.

Cant see the video on my computer, but I heard that show when it first aired on the radio.

He is just a blue collar guy intimidated by a high brow NPR person so he goes on the offensive by being juvenile ( though he is not being actually malicious). Dont see any evidence one way nor the other of him being on the spectrum.
