Oh, Alice, shut the f*ck up.

It's really sad seeing one of my heroes with his head so far up his own ass.

"WINNIPEG -- In the eyes of Alice Cooper, all the rock stars campaigning for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry are guilty of one thing: treason. The shock-rock legend, a staunch Republican who attends NBA games in Phoenix with Arizona Senator John McCain, was disgusted when he learned of plans by Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, R.E.M. and other bands to hold a series of concerts aimed at unseating U.S. President George W. Bush.

"To me, that's treason. I call it treason against rock 'n' roll because rock is the antithesis of politics. Rock should never be in bed with politics," says the 56-year-old Cooper, who begins a 15-city Canadian tour on Aug. 20 in Thunder Bay, Ont."

"Treason against rock 'n roll". God forbid they have an opinion and do something more substantial than ponce around making school supply commercials with their daughter, eh, Alice?

The story in question is here.

I mean, I could deal with him supporting Bush. That's his right. But this ridiculous bullshit? How the mighty have fallen.

That sucks. And I love that ad, too. Damn. Now it's ruined for me.

Personally, I find it quite annoying when a celebrity gets involved.

Has this nitwit no knowlege of the history of Rock? Rock music as protest was a part of the scene way before he came along.

Ok, so he's seriouly gone...
I mean for fsk's sake, politics has no place in rock'n'roll. Then what the f**k is it all about huh? I mean it's not all dumb songs about your girlfriend has left you, or bragging about how the ho's love you...

Geeze... somebody tell the aging idiot to shut up and let someone who has a clue speak.

Hmmmmmm so let me get this straight. Religion + Politics= Good! , Rock & Roll + politics= Bad? I think Alice just needs to go back to playing with chickens again.

Dammit. And I simply adored him too.

Here's hoping he realizes how completely stupid he sounds.

No political rock? I'll let Bob Dylan, CSN&Y, Rage Against The Machine and all the others know right away. They'll be so chagrined.
