A Performer With Sense

When performers stop singing and start the political thing alah the Dixie Chicks and more recently Bruce Springsteen, R.E.M., John Mellencamp, etc., it really turns me off to them and their music. If I decide to shell out major dough to attend a concert I don't want to hear a political agenda even if it isn't counter to my own. Rocker Alice Cooper has an opinion on this over at Blabbermouth.net.

"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."
