Alice Cooper ... ambassador or cabinet member?

Just happened upon an old Blast Off! post from 2005 this morning, and I think it has added meaning now, given the fact that the GOP appears certain to nominate dessicated, goiter-ridden near-corpse Huggy Bear for the presidency.

Huggy is pals with, of all people, Alice Cooper (right).

In the eyes of Alice Cooper, all the rock stars campaigning for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry are guilty of one thing: treason. The shock-rock legend, a staunch Republican who attends NBA games in Phoenix with Arizona Senator John McCain, was disgusted when he learned of plans by Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, R.E.M. and other bands to hold a series of concerts aimed at unseating U.S. President George W. Bush.

"To me, that's treason. I call it treason against rock 'n' roll because rock is the antithesis of politics. Rock should never be in bed with politics," says the 56-year-old Cooper ....

So would a President Huggy (perish the thought) appoint the singer of such timeless hits as "School's Out," "Only Women Bleed," and "Billion Dollar Babies" to a high government position?

If so, we should sing another Cooper hit: "Welcome to My Nightmare."
