Alice Cooper Has Let It Be Known About Musicians Telling People To Vote
In an interview with the Guardian, Alice keeps his political opinions to himself. “I I don’t like to mix politics and rock’n’roll.
I don’t look at Bono, Sting and Bruce Springsteen as political. I look at them as being humanitarian. But when musicians are telling people who to vote for, I think that’s an abuse of power. You’re telling your fans not to think for themselves, just to think like you. Rock’n’roll is about freedom – and that’s not freedom.
Alice Cooper’s 1972 Song “Elected”
Elected is one of Alice Cooper’s most famous and most brilliant songs, a typically grandstanding anthem from rock’s master showman, and a work of mischievous political satire. Think of it, Weird Al Yankovic was only 13 years old at the time. Even John Lennon said it was a “Great Record.”
Elected was a follow-up to 1972’s “Shool’s Out.” “Alice wanted to write a song as a general poke at politicians,” he explains. The 1972 presidential elections were coming up and, ‘Who’s the most unlikely person you would ever want as President?’. And Alice Cooper was that person!”
