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.

no subject
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.
