The Stones in ‘66.

Rock icon Alice Cooper ripped irreversible gender reassignment surgeries for children as a “fad” and trashed “woke” culture in a new interview.
The comments are the third from a high-profile rocker this year and the second to come from an iconic musician whose act at least partially included gender-bending.
In a wide-ranging interview with Stereogum about the state of his career and his ongoing touring, Cooper was asked about radical gender ideologies that are targeting young people.
The 75-year-old didn’t mince words while he shared his strong opinions on the “absurd” subject.
“I’m understanding that there are cases of transgender, but I’m afraid that it’s also a fad, and I’m afraid there’s a lot of people claiming to be this just because they want to be that,” Cooper said in the interview, published Wednesday.
He said he viewed it as “wrong” when adults use the curiosity and sometimes confusion that comes with being young to push children into making life-altering decisions.
“I find it wrong when you’ve got a six-year-old kid who has no idea,” Cooper said. “He just wants to play, and you’re confusing him telling him, ‘Yeah, you’re a boy, but you could be a girl if you want to be.’”
The singer then summed up the entire gender movement.
“It’s getting to the point now where it’s laughable,” he said. “If anybody was trying to make a point on this thing, they turned it into a huge comedy.”

Alice is the only “ star” I’d get into a throat-biting fight for.
;)
LOL... 100%
Yep. Him and Bowie......been wearing make-up for Decades.
I saw it coming in the 80s. MTV helped by showing many music videos promoting effeminate males (many european) wearing heavy makeup, women’s hair styles and clothing.
Bowie wore women’s clothes as much as men’s.
“The stage persona is exactly just that.
A persona.”
Agreed, however impressionable teenage minds more than likely haven’t developed enough to understand that.
Your post is proof they were entertainers and they each appealed to a different group.
Yet they were actually just people and friends.
Sometimes it is hard for people to separate a person from the persona they create for their act.
IIRC, when visiting Maui he used to slip in to our little Baptist Church some Sundays.
See post 46.
Seriously need more people to speak up on critical issues like this.
When he’s not on the road, he’s a Sunday school teacher in his AZ church.
/the “school’s out” jokes must get old
Actually Alice wore women’s s clothes in the beginning because they had no stage clothes of their own.
Couldn’t afford them.
A 60s girl band they were friends with gave them clothes to wear.
Strange but true.
“Alice”......you guys on a 1st name basis? 😁
He knows who I am, hit me with a stick during a concert ( best way to get one of his coveted canes) and Don Jamieson sent him photos of my “Alice” trike.
Maybe we should be.
;)
He has also been married with kids since the mid 70s. Thats probably the only way to survive being a rock star....

EVERY time I go to the polls, I wear that exact t shirt.
Anyone who has listened to the lyrics of Feed My Frankenstein knows exactly where his “tastes” lie.
/no wonder Sheryl always has that annoying smile
:D
