The poll workers always ~want~ to say something about the shirt but can’t, because it’s not technically electioneering.
So much cognitive dissonance.
Good times.
A friend and I were in Alice’s restaurant in Cooperstown about 10 years ago having dinner when Alice strolled through the room. It was funny because my friend’s wife had just bought a pair a tickets for a concert in two weeks and as Cooper came closer to our table, my friend asked his wife to quick email the purchase confirmation. She did and so my friend was able to show Alice that he and wife were going to see him in a few weeks at a concert (at a location on the other side of the continent). Alice was quite impressed and sat and chatted with us for about 10 minutes.
Great campaign slogan!
Isn’t it just?
However, the D poll workers never seem terribly amused.
/dressing for spite
:D
From Wikipedia:
"Cooper presumed that, because the chicken had wings, it would be able to fly. He picked it up and threw it out over the crowd, expecting it to fly away. The chicken instead plummeted into the first few rows occupied by wheelchair users, who reportedly proceeded to tear the bird to pieces."
"The next day the incident made the front page of national newspapers, and Zappa phoned Cooper and asked if the story, which reported that he had bitten off the chicken's head and drunk its blood on stage, was true. Cooper denied the rumor, whereupon Zappa told him, "Well, whatever you do, don't tell anyone you didn't do it."
Going on 72 years he still kicks butt on stages, golf courses and speaking venues and has always been Christian. Troubles, alcoholism, some drugs but eventually clean, still creative, positive and giving.
Almost forgot - never throw live birds to wheelchair users.
I was watching “The Calvinist” recently about young people becoming part of the Reformed movie, until it went on about how God can use rap music, and included some samples. That is when I quit watching it.
I think Alice isn’t Christian (Christ-like) enough, nor myself, and which is contrary to being a Pharisee. Believing the gospel of salvation by grace thru faith is to result in walking according to the Truth of the gospel, which means that what we say and express is to reflect that. I can always be better in that, while as for while Copper. he seems to personally be a humble caring person but I cannot reconcile being a heavy metal entertainer whose stage show features guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, deadly snakes, etc. with preaching the gospel.
I would note that Alice's father was a Christian Pastor and he grew up in the church. He came back to his faith after a long battle with alcoholism. He is quite open about his faith and has been for decades. There are multiple youtube videos where Alice gives his testimony and proudly proclaims his faith - he is not shy about it.
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Yeah, well, for some folks, that’s not good enough.
Amazing Grace?
Jesus wept.
For some folks nothing is ever good enough. Shake their dust off your feet and move on with the Gospel.
Amen.
Are you seriously attempting to equate miracles such as Paul not dying as a result of being bitten by a poisonous snake with Vincent Furnier, using the name of a women, Alice Cooper, use of guillotines, electric chairs, chickens, fake blood, deadly snakes as part of a hard rock-shock show (and advising performers to be obnoxious with a snarl on their face, yet also giving sound advice on marriage)?
Those lazy Boa snakes are not “deadly”.
Good grief.
Calm down.
It is impossible to know how God works in the life of a believer. I think David is a good example. After he lost everything at Ziglag, his men openly talked of killing him. Absalom his son wanted to kill him and a great many people in Israel were willing to side with him. Yet David was a man after God’s own heart.
David is an example to us that we are not to judge a book by it’s cover. God even said as much to Samuel.
Thank you for your testimony.
We are saved by grace and it is a gift from God, which we do not deserve and can never earn.
Even the worst of us.
