"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." -Alice Cooper

You're right Sprinsteen sucks. I never liked his music/lyrics. Heck, I wouldn't even violate their "intellectual property rights" by downloading it for free.

I was clicking through the channels and lit on Entertainment Tonight getting the "celebrities" views on the debate. No big shock what they thought. It showed P-Diddy (is that the right name) giving his analysis on the debates. I knew it was past time for me to change the channel at that point..

Ooh there it is! The other day I had mentioned on a reply that I'd read a certain musician (forgot who he was) had said something like that. Then I realized, "now that I think of it, it was probably Alice Cooper"--and your
post confirms it. Thanks (and thanks Alice!)

Look at their lifestyle. Marriage is just another word in the dictionary between F**! and S$$*. Sex, drugs and Rock 'n' Roll is a way of life. Not one of them has the guts to risk their lives like those over in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Born in the USA was about a Vietnam Vet who was figuratively spit on when got back to this country.
Who helped to denigrate these soldiers, called them
war criminals, etc.? JOHN KERRY! That's brilliant, Boss...

Vote or Die? What kind of campaign is that? In all honesty, I don't want people who don't know what's going on to vote. It negates my vote and the vote of everyone who at least took the time out of their lives to know what the issues are. It pisses me off. I sure hope it's true that the majority of young voters are turning more Conservative. I know my stepkids, to my surprise and delight, both told me they're voting for Bush. One is 27 and one is 25.

Last night, Entertainment Tonight ran about five mini-reports in a row about beautiful, glamorous entertainers like Jennifer Aniston and their selfless (and I'm sure "non-partisan") efforts to promote voter registration. Of course, since all of them hinged on the idea that we have to "vote for change" or that "if more women had voted in 2000, we could have made a difference," it was obvious that the whole thing was just a transparent, free anti-Bush commercial.

BTW, it also included a clip of Springsteen singing a little of "Born to Run" with an acoustic guitar. Yikes! He's never been that great a singer, but he sounded like he's been gargling with razor blades. He made Tom Waits sound like Bing Crosby. If they want the audience to vote Democrat, they'd better promise them free government health care to make their ears stop bleeding.

Like a lot of folks of my (baby boomer) generation, I was a true Beatles fan. But I would never, ever subscribe to their whacked-out, drug-induced, libertine lifestyles, or to their loony pseudo-Marxist views of how to make and redistribute wealth. In fact, the individual Beatles rejected their own life style and socialist experiments when they got married, went into rehab (well, most of them) and dissolved the "Apple Corp" fiasco.
