Vanilla Ice: ""I'm here to party with America, man. I don't even vote, so I don't even care."

“I’m here to party with America, man,” the rapper, who was born Robert Van Winkle, told TMZ. He’s just not into politics and would be happy to perform for Putin, Trump, former President Joe Biden, or whoever else might ask, he explained.

“I’ll play in Iran if you want. It don’t matter,” Van Winkle said.

To make it perfectly clear, he noted: “I don’t even vote, so I don’t even care.”

“Music is here to bring people together, man,” Ice added. “I don’t take anything too serious; I don’t think anyone else should. I think we should just dance.”

I wouldn't compare him to someone that doesn't vote or care about politics. My own father was like that. Politics just wasn't his thing.

and unfortunately inflicts it on the rest of us. But consider the source: a long ago one hit wonder takes every opportunity to dance in a spotlight and prove himself a fool!
