Ronnie, yeah for sure Ozzy Ozbourne and Alice Cooper both employ the use of theatrics in their acts and as I said in my last post this is all good. It's when the theatrics get in the way of the music, that's when the theatrics become a problem for me. Both Ozbourne and Cooper and many others who are perhaps more well known for their live shows then the quality of their music overall, have been integral in the history and development of Rock 'N Roll music and others like them will continue to be. I don't know I just value Ozbourne and Cooper and say a band like System Of a Down, or The Killers, or Franz Ferdinand (or whoever you young folk are listening to today ) more as artists and musicians than say KISS.

As for Cooper being a Republican? Yup, that is kinda scary. It's kinda like finding out that Don Cherry (a diehard supporter of The Conservative Party of Canada) votes for The (Leftist) New Democratic Party. :p
