ALICE COOPER Calls Rock Musicians Getting Involved In Politics "The Worst Idea Ever"
August 5, 2016, 8 years ago
Shock rock legend Alice Cooper recently spoke with Metal Hammer via Spotify and offered his thoughts on musicians getting involved in politics.
"It's the worst idea ever," says Cooper. "First of all, why do people think rock stars know more than they do? That is the biggest fallacy in the world. If anything, we're dumber. We're not smarter than anybody else. I mean, why do you think we're rock stars? Rock 'n' roll was built to go as far away from politics as you could get. When my mom and dad talked about who to vote for, I'd go in the other room and put on The Beatles or Rolling Stones - and I'm still like that."
Cooper recently posted this video performing “Elected” live in Biloxi, MS on April 29th.
“Featuring the fight you've always wanted to see, the all out no holds barred match between United States Presidential Candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump!”
