Alice Cooper was once dubbed the most evil rock singer in the world. But with the rise of 'Australian Idol' and Britney Spears Incorporated, it's a title he's had to relinquish. Only he's got something these pre-fab pop stars will never have - a long career. Lock up your children, lock up your cosmetics, lock up your poultry, and welcome the perennial Mr Alice Cooper.
The rest here
Funny - my first exposure to Alice Cooper was on the Muppet Show, of all places....
It's time to play the music... It's time to light the lights...
That's a man that can laugh at himself - Alice Cooper on the Muppet Show? LOL!!!
I remember a GREAT quote by Alice Cooper... about getting your politics from Musicians, et al.
Found it....
Quote From Alice Cooper
"If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are."
Take that, Dave Matthews, Bruce Springsteen, etc.
Alice Cooper is a good conservative, a great businessman, and an ok golfer.
Yep, that's a great quote.

You could needlepoint it on a pillow.

Great interview. The stuff about Groucho Marx is hysterical.
Now that's a rock star. Also, for those of you who don't know, he's also a teetotaler and believes rock and roll musicians should not talk politics unless asked.
I like him in Wayne's World too. (We're not worthy!! We're not worthy!!)
During the opening night performance of my high school variety show, I accidentally tipped over an upright piano on the way to center stage to perform a Spike Jones (comedy) act. It made for a LOUD sound (just as if someone had banged every key on the piano as hard as he could, all at once) and a huge cloud of dust. As the audience roared with what had to have been the biggest laugh of the night, some stage hands helped me put the piano back on its feet. But, it was unplayable. So, I nonchalantly walked over to the grand piano already on stage, and the show went on.
The next week, a kid I'd never seen before stopped me in the hallway to ask why the second night's performace didn't include the falling piano. His parents had come back just to see it happen a second time, thinking it was a part of the act.
You're worthy, you're worthy.
You know, Milwaukee has had many interesting visitors over the years....
I heard him talking about playing golf one time. He said that if he leaves a putt short, his buddies always say "Hit the ball, Alice."
If you're a golfer you'll understand why that is funny.
