Dee Snider Has Paid The Price

“When I was being Twisted, I just went full tilt, like I was racing to a finish line. But when I got there, I realized there really is no finish line. I have a life to live. For kids in rock ’n’ roll, if you’re not Elton John or Billy Joel — which is most of us — that’s where you crash and burn.”
 — Dee Snider, currently appearing in the Broadway musical Rock of Ages, talks to the Times about rising and falling and coming back, as a rock star. “Being rich and famous is hard,” he says, “but being poor and famous is hell.” Kind of makes you think of The Wrestler.
