With the end of this year's American Idol competition upon us and the somewhat surprise appearance in the finals of rocker Bo Brice, Dee Snider of Twisted Sister fame is calling on rockers everywhere to call in their votes for Bice.

Commenting on Bice's success on his radio show, Snider said he thought it'd be great for rock in general if Bo won. He thinks it's great for a "cock-struttin' rocker" to be beamed into middle-America's living rooms. Snider thinks rock is in crisis and rock personalities are an endangered species. On Bice, Snider says "he's a real rocker, he's got drug busts, the whole thing..." Snider even noted that Katie Couric was a little squeamish when talking about Bice's Idol success. Dee suggested Katie lighten up and that maybe a wardrobe malfunction would do her some good!

Snider is a DJ at rock station WMMR in Philadelphia and hosts the syndicated "House Of Hair" show that airs on stations across the country. He is also kicking off a summer world tour with this band Twisted Sister.
