There are many people here who are not as old as some of us and remember the history certainly of Alice Cooper.
Alice Cooper was the son of a minister. He ended up going off to Arizona to retire and make good business investments. In the later days of his tour he was married for a very long time maybe he still is I didn't check. But he took his son on the tour bus with him and helped him with his homework before he went on stage. I know someone who knew him.
Billion dollar babies was written about the excess of rock stars written when he first hit the big time. The album is a great one also the song election. When you read the lyrics to these songs you see what he is trying to do. The mockery of candidates wanting to be elected and be your guy the video is great!
But I leave you with Hello Hooray from the album. Just listen to the words! Alice Cooper was a very sound man who lived a very clean life and did crazy elaborate artistic shows. He was the precursor to Michael Jackson's thriller, with welcome to My nightmare. I saw the show twice absolutely incredible and the TV version mainstream media wanted to do. So don't mistake Alice for those eating babies he was trying to tell the story of excess.
This is for all of us, one of the great songs on the album Hello Hooray... Let the show begin... I've been ready.
I'd love to hear this at a Trump rally!
Hello! Hooray! Let the show begin I've been ready Hello! Hooray! Let the lights grow dim I've been ready Ready as this audience that's coming here to dream Loving every second, every moment, every scream I've been waiting so long to sing my song And I've been waiting so long for this thing to come Yeah, I've been thinkin' so long, I was the only one Roll out! Roll out with your American dream and its recruits I've been ready Roll out! Roll out with your circus freaks and hula hoops I've been ready Ready as this audience that's coming here to dream Loving every second, every moment, every scream I've been waiting so long to sing my song And I've been waiting so long for this thing to come Oh, I've been thinking so long, I was the only one And I can stand here strong and thin And I can laugh when this thing begins God, I feel so strong, I feel so strong I'm so strong, I feel so strong I feel so strong, so strong God, I feel so strong, I am so strong So strong, I feel so strong, I feel so strong I feel so strong, I feel so strong, I feel so strong Yes I'm strong, feel so strong, feel so strong
I saw him do tv interview many years back and he talked about being a Christian and how he and his band miraculously survived a crash which left their bus obliterated. Bystanders thought they were dead, but they all got up and were fine. Also mentioned how he was one of a few whose manager was not a crook but made wise investments.
Also said he went for the Gothic weirdness because musically the band was inferior and needed a gimmick.
