Passionate non-politics

Cooper is very outspoken about his political views–those being that he has none. In fact, he’s highly critical of rock musicians who get political, saying:

To me, that’s treason. I call it treason against rock-and-roll, because rock is the antithesis of politics. Rock should never be in bed with politics.3

Cooper would even go so far as to do the opposite of what everyone else is doing just to make a point. During the 2004 election season, he said:

When I read the list of people who are supporting Kerry, if I wasn’t already a Bush supporter, I would have immediately switched. Linda Ronstadt? Don Henley? Geez, that’s a good reason right there to vote for Bush.4

Apparently, it’s how he’s always been, and how he remains to this day. He muses about sitting between such political rocker icons as John Lennon and Harry Nilsson while they argued politics and thinking, ‘I don’t care.’5

an interesting read...
