Barack Obama, meet Alice Cooper?

by David Safier
This from Rolling Stone:

Alice Cooper will reportedly share the stage with Barack Obama when the President delivers a commencement speech to an audience of 8,000 Arizona State University graduates and more than 60,000 attendees this Wednesday, May 13th, at Phoenix’s Sun Devil Stadium. Why is the shock rocker on the same bill as Rolling Stone’s Number One Agent of Change? According to Blabbermouth, Cooper will perform his 1972 ode to summertime and the end of education, “School’s Out.” He’ll be backed by the band Runaway Phoenix, which features Alice’s son Dash Cooper, who is on pace to graduate from ASU in 2010.

Now I'm supposed to come up with a clever quip about the match up. Sorry folks, the cupboard is bare. Any suggestions?
