11 million bucks. Nice find!
He thinks the conversation was real, but he couldn’t put his hand on a Bible and say that it was.”
Ironic considering Cooper is a Christian.
Awesome!
I took my son to see Alice Coooper (my sons’ first REAL concert) a couple months ago and it was absolutely amazing.
I thought he was only interested in antique chairs?
I wonder if his ex-girlfriend would like it back.
Was it more theater than music?
Even Christians have a past. Sometimes it isn’t pretty. Why would you consider this ironic?
It’s an old electric chair so it still counts.
You should see his car collection.
She’s dead so probably not.
What Jesus said about oaths
That’s nothing. I found a print of dogs playing poker in a storage unit one time. What they were doing playing poker in a storage unit...
He is not saying something anti-Christian. He is saying he has a vague recollection, but he can’t be sure it’s accurate. In the U.S, people swear on the Bible in court.
Same thing I thought. The article says his then girlfriend bought it.
Or maybe it’s just another example of the shoddy work that passes for journalism now and what they really meant was that Alice bought it because she liked/wanted it.
Agreed.
Cindy Lang died in January.

I have a rare framed painting of Elvis on black velvet hanging in my man cave...........
From the article it’s not so clear whether Alice Cooper properly “owns” the Warhol piece. It says Cindi lang “handed it off” to his manager and it ended up stored with his stuff. Does that mean she made a gift of it to Alice Cooper, or did it still belong to her? Probably difficult to prove her ownership but her estate/heirs might get into a fight about it..... turns out she only passed away in Jan. this year (2017). Could there still be any legal issue with ownership? Cindi Lang’s obituary:

Being an art school grad I enjoy Warhol but am amused that it’s such a big, big deal now. It was all a put-on, Warhol knew it. The whole thing was tantamount to what some would call a larp these days.
Alice Cooper wasn’t all that a big thing for me, he has a couple cool songs I guess. There are a few LA Punk bands that remind me a bit of AC in some way that I was a big fan of at the time and still enjoy. In particular, your comment about a car collection made me think of Social Distortion and Mike Ness.
