'A Sad And Dangerous Fad': Rock Legend Alice Cooper Destroys The Left's Push Of Transgenderism

Rock n' Roll icon and Phoenix, Arizona institution Alice Cooper made headlines Friday when his Wednesday answer to an interviewer who was allegedly there to talk about his twenty-ninth studio album entitled "Road," took the media and industry by surprise. 

Music publication Stereogum was perhaps a tad lax on its research prior to the interview because any rock fan with an Arizona area code could tell you that not only is Alice Cooper the godfather of shock rock as they wrote, but he's also a truly based born-again Christian, and one could logically expect him to have the beliefs and sensibilities that go along with it. 

Listeners to 'Nights With Alice Cooper,' his syndicated radio show that features Cooper answering emails from fans and interviewing other greats of the industry and beyond, would know this well, as would many Arizonans who deal with him in daily life. 

But as our esteemed colleague Brodigan of Louder With Crowder observed, "No doubt, the reporter was expecting Cooper to blast his peers and affirm the reporter's political worldview."

Stereogum's Rachel Brodsky asked Cooper,

"Recently some of your 'theatrical' rock peers have commented about gender identity, with Paul Stanley and Dee Snider calling gender-affirming care for kids a “sad and dangerous fad.”

As someone who played around with gender expectations early on, do you have any thoughts on what some of your contemporaries have said before they walked those comments back?"

Cooper responded in his trademark pragmatic and abrupt fashion.

"Yeah. I’m understanding that there are cases of transgender, but I’m afraid that it’s also a fad, and I’m afraid there’s a lot of people claiming to be this just because they want to be that.

I find it wrong when you’ve got a six-year-old kid who has no idea. He just wants to play, and you’re confusing him telling him, 'Yeah, you’re a boy, but you could be a girl if you want to be.'”

The self-described political moderate continued, "I think that’s so confusing to a kid. It’s even confusing to a teenager. You’re still trying to find your identity, and yet here’s this thing going on, saying, 'Yeah, but you can be anything you want. You can be a cat if you want to be.' I mean, if you identify as a tree… And I’m going, 'Come on! What are we in, a Kurt Vonnegut novel?' It’s so absurd, that it’s gone now to the point of absurdity."

The 75-year-old rock star then asked a question rooted in something the mainstream left can't seem to handle: logic.

"The whole woke thing… Nobody can answer this question. Maybe you can. Who’s making the rules? Is there a building somewhere in New York where people sit down every day and say, “Okay, we can’t say ‘mother’ now. We have to say ‘birthing person.’ Get that out on the wire right now”? Who is this person that’s making these rules? I don’t get it. I’m not being old school about it. I’m being logical about it."

The leftist cancel-culture's predictable reaction has already begun as of this report with The New York Post writing that Vampyre, a 130-store chain that collaborated with Cooper has ended the business relationship stating, "In light of recent statements by Alice Cooper we will no longer be doing a makeup collaboration." The statement advised, "We stand with all members of the LGBTQIA+ community and believe everyone should have access to healthcare. All pre-order sales will be refunded.”

According to the outlet, Cooper's spokesman has made no comment.
