A followup on Terry Gross's...

A followup on Terry Gross's NPR interview with Gene Simons from Lisa Rein (who actually heard the interview): "Simmons declined to give permission for [the NPR] Web site to offer audio of his interview, or sell tapes or transcripts of it... Gross didn't so much as raise her voice throughout the entire exchange. She conducted herself in her usual polite manner. Towards the end, she stopped speaking entirely, and just let Simmons babble away until the time ran out... In conclusion, no one will ever know why Gene Simmons chose to insult NPR, its staff, and its entire listening audience instead of selling them all a couple hundred thousand books."
