Alice Cooper, the eye-liner wearing “Godfather of Shock Rock,” was dumped by a cosmetics company after the singer questioned the rush to perform trans surgeries on kids and said that transitioning genders was a “fad.” (Snip) The rocker also blasted “the whole woke thing,” wondering: “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,”

Alice Cooper has become a really stand up guy! A strong believer in Jesus Christ and he works hard to share the gospel with youth here in Phoenix.
Glad to see that he is speaking out like this.

You're against medical experiments on children and for that you're attacked. Denigrated. Maligned.

8-24-2023: IN LIGHT OF RECENT STATEMENTS BY ALICE COOPER WE WILL NO LONGER BE DOING A MAKEUP COLLABORATION. WE STAND WITH ALL MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY AND BELIEVE EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE. ALL PRE-ORDER SALES WILL BE REFUNDED

So, being against child genital mutilation is considered bad by this company? Sounds like a company to avoid.
Of course, it's been years since I bought any Vampyre makeup......like forever.

Alice Cooper, oddly enough, one of the sanest rock stars (appearances can be deceiving), once said, "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." In addition to having created hard rock classic songs, Alice (Vincent Furnier, IIRC) is on God's side. Considering his background, that's not too surprising. He's got courage to face down the hysterical child loppers who will brook no disagreement. Alice Cooper, even with a boa constrictor wrapped around his neck on stage, is our ally. It takes all kinds.

Son of a preacher man. Saw my first Alice Cooper show in '72 and he's still going strong today - his stated goal is to perform for more years than Mick Jagger, so he's not going away any time soon.

Vincent Furnier, AKA Alice Cooper, is one of rock's good guys. He's a Christian who assists other rockers struggling with substance abuse issues. He normally avoids wading into politics, but good on him for speaking out against the trans madness. I'm sure he'll have no problem finding another source of mascara for his stage act.

Feb 18, 1979, Alice Cooper played Roberts Stadium in Evansville, IN. My very first concert.

How does one appy Vampyre Cosmetics if you can't see yourself in a mirror?

Who’d thought speaking “Truth to power” would take the form of common flipping sense.

I was a fan of Alice Cooper in the late '70s and could never have foreseen the guy who gave us "Black Widow" and "Cold Ethyl" becoming one of the saner voices among elder rock stars.

Alice Cooper was a bad influence on teens in the '70's.

And yet . . . I turned out AWESOME, #15.
To my teenage and adult mind, Vietnam was a far worse influence.
And disco.
