Alice Cooper: Anti-Bush acts treasonous morons
Worldnet Daily ^

Posted on 08/24/2004 1:26:47 PM PDT by PaulaB

Shock-rock legend Alice Cooper calls rock stars campaigning for Democrat John Kerry treasonous morons.

The 56-year-old Cooper says he was disgusted to learn the likes of Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, R.E.M., Sheryl Crow, James Taylor and Dave Matthews were hitting the road for a series of concerts designed to help defeat President Bush.

"To me, that's treason," Cooper told the Canadian Press. "I call it treason against rock 'n' roll because rock is the antithesis of politics. Rock should never be in bed with politics."

When I was a kid and my parents started talking about politics, I'd run to my room and put on the Rolling Stones as loud as I could. So when I see all these rock stars up there talking politics, it makes me sick.

"If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we're morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal."

"Besides," he continued, "when I read the list of people who are supporting Kerry, if I wasn't already a Bush supporter, I would have immediately switched. Linda Ronstadt? Don Henley? Geez, that's a good reason right there to vote for Bush."

As WorldNetDaily previously reported, Linda Ronstadt was escorted off the property of a Las Vegas casino after publicly supporting Bush-bashing film director Michael Moore, and singer Don Henley was subsequently booed on stage in Orange County, Calif., for expressing support for Linda Ronstadt during one of his own concerts.

Cooper, whose real name is Vincent Damon Furnier, is reportedly a strong Republican who joins Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., at NBA games in Phoenix.

He continues his own summer rock tour, with upcoming dates in the Northeast, Canada, California and Las Vegas.

There's a few Conservative rockers out there--and they tend to be the harder-rocking guys, such as:

Ted Nugent
Alice Cooper
Sammy Hagar (and presumably the rest of Van Halen)
James Hetfield of Metallica (Lars Ulrich is a liberal wuss though from what I hear)
C.C. DeVille, the on-again-off-again guitarist of Poison (that one really surprised me!)

Dee Snider seems to have libertarian tendencies but I dunno for sure.

Man, that was a good song!

Poison - Alice Cooper - reached #7 in 1989...was my favorite song back in 7th grade.

Alice Cooper's "Desperado" predates and kicks the bleep out of the Eagles song by that same name.

Freedom of speech is a beautiful thing.

It gives everyone, regardless of motivation, the right to express their opinions.

Alice Cooper recently gave a concert here. He arrived several days early for benefit activities for youngsters in local communities.
It was a great concert ending with a masked George Bush lookalike ripping half the shirt off a masked Kerry lookalike ala Janet Jackson.
"Alice" is still very active and I thought getting old till I find out we're the same age. :-)

No one likes Lars anyway.
