Alice Cooper Says Politics Has No Place In Rock Music

Music and politics should not be mixed.
That’s the word from Alice Cooper, who says, “I don’t think rock ‘n’ roll and politics belong in the same bed together, but a lot of people think it does — because we have a voice, and we should use our voice. But again, rock ‘n’ roll should be anti-political, I think.”
Cooper says he formed his opinion as a child, when he’d play rock music to drown out his parents’ political discussions. “When my parents started talking about politics, I would turn on the Stones as loud as I could,” he recalls. “I don’t want to hear about politics, and I still feel that way.”
