Unlike the John Mayer endorsement of Obama, this comes from the counterintuitive celebrity endorsements file. Joe Perry on McCain:
“I’ve been a hardcore Republican my whole life,” he told the Herald. “My mother and father drilled into me from the very start that if you work hard and be positive, you’ll get what you’re working for. I guess I’m living proof of that.”
Of criticism about McCain’s age, Perry said: “My mother’s in her 80s and she does aerobics. My manager’s 70 and he’s right there. That doesn’t bother me.”
And despite lopsided polls, he urged his fans to get out and vote.
“I’m an optimist. It ain’t over till its over,” he said. “I think that he’s got a chance.”
And, Perry was inexplicably able to express all this without a 5-minute high-production-value, low-impact video.

Brett Michaels from Poison is a good guy too. I’ve been to probably four Poison concerts and he always mentions the vets and the troops. His dad is a Korean vet and his brother is Nam vet. He always talks about how proud he is of them.

I heard about this during a WBAP (Hannity) commercial break this afternoon. I ‘bout did a cartwheel in my car! I had no idea that Perry was a conservative. So now we’ve got Joe the Plumber and Joe the Rocker!! The Dems are stuck with Joe the Gaffemaster.
Joe Perry, you’re my Angel!

He’s a class act in that regard. Granted, Bret’s not a guy I’d want my sister to date...he’s kind of a man-whore, but he supports the troops!
And he (and Poison) can still put on a hell of a show.

Thanks.
I will now proceed with my ten lashes for not recognizing the Ramone himself.

Oh yes. Though car cartwheels are very dangerous.
Tried that one in the 80’s.
