Where Did All That Talk Of $100-Oil Go?

Soaring production: Saudi Arabia, Russia, US all setting production records of some sort or another. And all the pundits were worried that Trump's sanctions on Iran would drive WTI / Brent to $100.

From Gene Simmon's On Power: My Journey Through The Corridors of Power, And How You Can Get It -- More Power, c. c.2017, page 124:

If KISS had not taken off, I might still be a teacher in New York City, and proud of it. Or I might be doing something different. My point is I would be doing something, and I would be doing it successfully. I would have found a way, because that's what l've always done. I've always had a plan B and a plan C, because I know that life is not fair, and when reality takes everything away from you, you must be ready to start all over again.
