Question
QUESTION: Hello there.

My question is on Bill Clinton being an Alice fan. Is that true? I've read that several times. You have some source on it?

Thank you.

ANSWER:
Wow!! I am so surprised at your question!
I have never come across such a reference in any article that I have access to.
Never.

Maybe you should be the "expert" and I the "questioner"! lol!

Sorry I am not able to confirm, I know only that at several points in both
of his campaigns, he did try to connect to the younger voters through
the music subculture.

Any reference you have a link to would be very interesting reading and very welcome!

I hope this is not out of line and is definitely not an endorsement for the host site,
but here is a link to many AIC articles dating from 1991 to present:

I hope you find them as wonderful as I do.

QUESTION: I read it a long time ago and unfortunately can't remember where. But it was at some biographies of the band. A joke maybe, because the story was that Bill Clinton "stated a day to shake our heads" when the self titled album was released.

I thought was a bit true since Cantrell has already played in some Clinton's Event.

Thanks anyway!

I am sorry that I cannot find any confirmation for you.
I have been searching the vast archives and sources available to me
but still can find no mention of the reference.
Of course that does not mean it is not true,
just that I cannot locate confirmation.

The closest related quotes that I have found
are from the 2004 Rock The Vote campaign,
which of course are much later in time.

So, not relative.

Sorry I could not help with your inquiry.
