PERSPECTIVE FROM AN UNLIKELY SOURCE
You may have heard that Bruce Springsteen and a bunch of other leftist "artists" are going out on the "Vote for Change" tour. This Bush-bashing soiree contains other acts, including Jackson Browne, the Ditzy Chicks and other assorted do-gooders. Their mission: to elect The Poodle. They probably think that people actually care. Good for them.
Anyway, it was refreshing to read this quote from of all people, Alice Cooper. Speaking about the acts that are touring against George Bush he had this to say: "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." He also said that mixing rock and roll with politics was treason.
Finally, an entertainer that gets it...even if he is...well...a little different.
Alice Cooper is awesome. He used to shop at my store and he was always very friendly and approachable. He never took himself too seriously.
Alice Cooper has created more jobs in the past few years as a restaurant owner than John Kerry has in 20 years as a Senator.
I heard on the Bennet show that Cooper is a Christian, involved extensively in various charities and an avid golfer- sounds like a good guy to me.
