Rocker Alice Cooper Launches White House Bid
« on: August 22, 2016, 11:44:16 pm »
Quote
With U.S. presidential front-runners Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump both suffering high disapproval rates, a new outside candidate sees an opening -- Alice Cooper.

The veteran shock rocker announced Monday that he is running for president with the slogan, "A Troubled Man for Troubled Times."

While the 68-year-old has enjoyed a fan base for decades, his platform, unveiled on a campaign website, revealed that he is not overly serious about his ambitions.

Cooper calls for late Motorhead frontman Lemmy's likeness to be added to Mount Rushmore, the massive mountain sculpture that honors four US presidents, and for comedian Groucho Marx to grace the $50 bill.

Leaving aside sovereignty concerns in Britain, which recently voted to leave the European Union, Cooper's platform also calls for Britain -- where the rocker has long been popular -- to put comic Peter Sellers on the 20-pound note.

All clowning aside, Cooper is pretty much a conservative.

It's a show. If you don't want to go, don't buy a ticket. (This is likely one, too).
I know it is rare that the image projected is less conservative than the way someone lives, but it happens. Bad influence, I know. There are worse who appear to be more normal and who are more likely to be emulated.

Frankly I doubt he's been any kind of influence. I was a big fan and even met the man but somehow managed to end up as a fairly solid conservative.

Before the Madhouse Rock Tour, in '79, he'd cleaned up, and the whole show actually was based on that.

I think he's been clean since the 80s.

I met him outside my hometown's local gas station party store in the middle of the night in the late 80s. He was with Ted Nugent who was then local and no big deal to us. They had flown into Detroit from somewhere and Cooper was going to fly out of the county airport the next day to visit some relatives in Alpena.

If Cooper hangs out with Ted Nugent, he must be conservative.  Nugent is rock solid.

Ted Nugent used to have a lot of famous visitors at his place in Michigan. It was a nice quiet place in the country where he could live his life without a lot of interference from the locals.

When I was in School he would occasionally set up visits for our shop class to check out his Broncos. He even taught an elective archery class for a semester.

Dave Ellefson of Megadeth works for a Christian outreach program in Scottsdale and is apparently a pastor now. (I believe that's where Cooper lives now)

Count me as one too who'd rather turn over the reins to the Coop than to Benito or flippin' Milhous.

I saw him in concert actually in 2003.  He rocked the house and he gave a great performance.  Vintage music yes. Would I vote for him as president?? No.  Even though I believe he would probably do a better job than either Trump or Hillary without a shred of political experience.

Very interesting fact is that Alice Cooper made maybe what was the very very first MTV Rock Type video in history on this very topic in 1972.
