Last Thursday, Joe Perry finally got to meet the man he voted for in 2008, Senator John McCain. Perry was performing for the Rock Stars of Science, a conference for an org that works to increase awareness about scientific research and the health sciences. Here’s what The Perry had to say when asked if he might be considering a run for political office
Sure, if I ever find myself in that position, I could see changing things up a little. I’ve been playing rock and roll for a long time now, and if California can have actors for politicians, then maybe the rest of the country can have musicians.
The sad-old-news here is that Joe Perry is a life-long Republican. After meeting McCain, Perry had some inspiring words to say about the Senator. Sez The Perry about Johnny“That One”McCain:
I felt better about politics in general after meeting [McCain. He's a war hero, and they're the most genuine heroes. Anyone who does what [soldiers in combat] do, they’re amazing heroes. Forget about guitar heroes. It’s an overused word.
That coming from a man who used the word “hero” no less than four times just now. Never mind the guitar hero plug. Anyway, I suppose I’m not really surprised that Joe Perry is considering stepping into the political arena. Aerosmith’s blackout past is old news and Perry’s right winged political affinity would be more than advantageous to the GOP. All I know is this, I see one photo of Joe with the $63,000 dollar woman, Sarah Palin, I’m jumping off a cliff.
Courtney Love claims that during a screening for Oliver Stone’s new doc on Hugo Chávez,the Venezuelan Dictatorhimself was giving her the Palin-wonk from across the room. Sez Courtney:
It was the third wink that sold me. He’s a sexy dawg. He invited me to visit his country and I’d like to go. I’ll rock Caracas!
