Did he? How so?
Once in the 70s an interviewer asked Alice who he was voting for. He said “I think if you look to a rock band for advice on who to vote for, you shouldn’t vote” Smart guy....
Like Che Santana recently did?
I saw your post after I posted mine, and that is pretty much what I got, even as a teenager-he was in the business to produce shock value.
As I said in my post above, I thought his song “I love the dead” was exactly that kind of thing, even when I heard it as a teenager. It was so over the top and outrageous, he knew kids would snicker and laugh at it, and parents would be outraged and offended by it.
I have always liked Alice Cooper, and any time I heard him interviewed outside his stage persona, it jibed with my impressions of him.
He was a big fan of Nixon
“but homosexuality was not one of those things that I recall.”
Cooper has been married to the same woman for almost 50 years and she was a hottie back int he day.
Fair enough. Unlike the democrats, I respect your difference in opinion and you made your point well.

I think it was Milton Berle who said of Alice Cooper's act; "Good Vaudeville."
Ping!
Alice is a very level-headed guy. And a hell of a golfer. His best golf buddy was Glen Campbell, families were very close.
Cool. I didn’t know that either. 😀
That was quite a civil answer on your part, and I thank you for it...:)
Sigh.
I feel as if lately, I have been fighting with people who I have generally regarded as friends on this forum, and I don’t like it.
I did have someone who said recently that men have been dressing in drag for decades (or centuries) and that our outrage over things like these drag shows was misplaced, and I countered that when people like Flip Wilson Monty Python, and Benny Hill dressed up in womens clothing, it was pure silly entertainment, nobody thought for a moment they were pushing an agenda at kids, because they weren’t.
They were aiming, it, and mildly, at adults who got the joke and laughed along with it.
However, like you, I do feel that there have been and currently are artists that push this agenda.
And it angers me deeply.
::What has the world come to when Alice Cooper becomes the voice of reason?
Alice Cooper has been a voice of reason for quite some time, even back when he ran for Governor of Arizona; “A troubled man for troubled times” was his campaign slogan. He was the sane one in the race.
That’s not entirely true.
Dee Snyder got cut from this year’s SF pride festival after liking a “transphobic” tweet by Paul Stanley of KISS.
Snyder added his own comment saying adults shouldn’t push the trans stuff onto kids.
.Give ‘em hell, Coop.
A brutal planet?
Biblical literalist, no less.
‘LOL
He also said that rock stars pushing political agendas was the absolute antithesis of rock and roll, itself.
He really ripped on the lib idiot bands who did free concerts for Dem candidates. -
IIRC, he did call them idiots and traitors.
People are not generally aware of just how conservative and right wing he really is.
The stage persona is exactly just that.
A persona.
