Snider: Schwarzenegger Inspired Record

[Khephra]

snip........

Twisted Sister's 1984 best-selling album, "Stay Hungry," was inspired by a Schwarzenegger book Snider read in the early 1980s. Schwarzenegger also starred in a 1976 movie with the same title.

"It motivated me," Snider said Monday. "I dedicated the song on the album to him."

snip..........

Snider was unfazed by the recent sexual misconduct charges swirling around Schwarzenegger.

"He was a movie star, for God's sake!" Snider said in a phone interview with The Associated Press, in between promotional stops for his new Halloween record, "Oculus Infernum."

"The fact is, men are dogs," he said. "If we took all the dogs out of jobs of importance, we'd have a lot of empty offices."

1. Snider is a burned out rocker

You can't expect too much from him. :)

[Hell Hath No Fury]

2. "...we'd have a lot of empty offices."

..and a better world.

[catzies]

13. I like how he assumes only men can fill those offices...

...fill them with women and we WILL have a better world.

3. sigh....

"He said that he ran into a Republican woman during a campaign stop with Schwarzenegger, and she told him: "In the '70s, if I wasn't groped, I was offended!" "

4. Right wing spin today......

Women want to be groped by Ahhhhnuld! Right up there with Chimpy and his flight-suit woody! Utterly disgusting.....

[Divernan]

14. Women stuck with Republican husbands. . . .

probably haven't been groped in decades and seem driven to fantasying about movie actors.

[NIGHT TRIPPER]

5. Arnie inspired alot of things didn't he---

besides a record---maybe steroid use? maybe ARNIE gave idiots who can't speak hope for becoming actors--how noble

[Wickerman]

6. Hold the presses - Dee Snider endorses Arnie?

this changes everything! I wish I lived in California now so I could vote for the sleaze-ass candidate that the burned out old schlock metal boy who hasn't done anything that resembled creative in the last 20 years. Dee, looking for a way to get his sorry ass name in the paper.

7. I find it extremely hypocritical that repugs demonize actors and

musicians only if they don't support the GOP, and even more amazing that no one calls them on it. It was only a few months ago that Mike Ferrel, Jeneanne Garafalo, Tim Robbins, et. al. were told, in no uncertain terms, to shut up, to stop using their celebrity to promote their cause, and in fact that entertainers in general were not capable of talking about politics, and yet here they are championing a hack like ah-nold and a burned out hack musician like Dee Snider.

Sometimes it's enough to make you :cry: and/or :puke:

8. a lot of empty offices...

Or, another option to the empty offices would be responsible women filling the positions vacated by the dogs.

12. Hi old_dad!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[LifeDuringWartime]

9. i had some respect for dee snider

when i saw the vh1 movie about the PMRC deal back in the early 90s. he seemed like a good guy (i know it was a movie but it was based upon actual happenings).

:wtf:

[mitchum]

10. Okay, I guess that's one drag queen who'll be voting for him

[jobycom]

11. I thought they meant the handyman from "One Day at a Time!"

Maybe I'd have listened to that Snider. But only if he claimed Arnold was too inexperienced and immature to be governor, even if he weren't a sexual predator.

Remember the video where Dee Snider has the teen kid beat up his dad while playing "We're Not Gonna Take It" (sic)? Strong qualifications for societal spokesperson, I would say...

15. "He was a movie star, for God's sake!"

SO WHAT!!!??? Being a "movie star" does not grant you a get out of jail free card or a license to engage in sexual battery at your heart's content numbskull!

So we have one burned out rock star whose brain cells have been fried long ago supporting a meathead who has muscles where his brain cells ought to be. Between the two of them they don't add up to one IQ point. I have considerable confidence that the voters of California have more sense than to be influenced by the likes of Dee Snider.
