Alice Cooper: Fellow Rockers are Treasonous Morons

Rock and roll legend Alice Cooper called fellow rock stars campaigning for presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) "treasonous morons." Cooper, 56, told the Canadian Press that he was appalled that follow musicians Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, R.E.M., Sheryl Crow, James Taylor, and Dave Matthews are performing a series of concerts in hopes of defeating President George W. Bush in the November 2 election.

Cooper, whose real name is Vincent Damon Furnier, is reportedly a strong Republican and fan of Bush who joins Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) at NBA games in Phoenix.

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

Cooper continued, "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."

"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," Cooper explained. "So when I see all these rock stars up there talking politics, it makes me sick.

Concluded Cooper, "Besides, 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."

Ronstadt was recently escorted off the property by the president of the Aladdin Hotels in Las Vegas after espousing her liberal political viewpoint by publicly supporting leftist, Bush-bashing film director Michael Moore. Her action prompted Aladdin President Bill Timmins, who attended the concert, to ban Ronstadt from the property. Aladdin staff checked her out of her room and escorted her to her tour bus.

Henley was booed on stage at the Pacific Amphitheatre in Orange County, CA, for expressing support for Ronstadt during one of his recent concerts. Later in the show, Henley, a former member of the Eagles, suggested his next song could be sung as a duet by President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Written by Randy Newman, "Political Science" has the U.S. dropping nukes on nearly every other part of the world.

Meanwhile, the GOP announced Monday that the country duo Brooks & Dunn will headline the entertainment at the Republican National convention next week in New York. Other talent includes country singer Lee Ann Womack, Christian rock band Third Day, and gospel vocalist Donnie McClurkin.

He accepted Christ after he was mostly retired from his 'hay-day'...but yeah, he seems like a cool dude.

Yup. Ole Alice lives here Phoenix. He makes local appearances and does commercial spots for things, and shows up at places at different times and winds up on the news.

A good man. He's very well liked here in Phoenix. I like him as well.

My mom met Alice Cooper back in her younger years. She has a record signed by him. She said that he is very nice, and not at all what you would have expected from a metal rocker. I grew up listening to Alice, Aerosmith, Guns&Roses, Poison, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard.

It's nice to hear that he still has common sense. All the more to like him for...off I go to listen to "Feed my Frankenstein' in his honor....

Great to hear someone speaking out about this. I have always seen family pics of himin mags and thought it looked so funny,but he seems like a good guy. I grew up listening to Bon Jovi(and still do),Def Lep,Whitesnake too and Alice Cooper had a great album come out about that time. Can't remember the name? Maybe Trash or Poison or something?! I wish Bon Jovi were on his side

And let us not forget good ol Ted wango-z-tango Nugent! He has never been shy about his political ideology or faith.

I think a lot of rockers, artists, performers are generally people who are naturally very needy of constant praise and approval from mostly their peers, so they just don't have the ability to be their own person, the need for acceptance by others is too great. Whe you do come across one who has their own mind and set of core beliefs and are not afraid to proudly admit it, we all tend to applaud and admire it. I would bet most of the Hollywood celebs and rockers that support Kerry really don't even know what he stands for other than he is liberal and they don't want to get skipped over for the parties and parts or to be excluded from their peers. Thats really kind of sad especially considering their peers who they are trying to impress are complete idiots and not worth impressing to begin with.
