[jus_the_facts]

1. Seems like yesterday he was just Eighteen....

...saw him in concert in 1987 in Shreveport, La....with Faster Pussycat openin' up...and Ace Frehley was supposed to be second on that ticket but he was a no show....trippin'. :smoke:

2. Happy birthday Vince...er...Alice

is it true that he's gone Christian conservative. ( wouldn't surprise me)....Saw him just before they hit it big, in 1970. They did the whole Love it to Death album, but it hadn't been released yet. Started with Sun Arise, then as the rather generous portion of hash brownies kicked in, the memory starts getting fuzzy, but I do remember that they were one hell of a rock and roll band....... Trivia quiz: anybody know who did the original of Sun Arise? ( not a trick question; it wasn't Alice).

9. you got it; something tells me you didn't even have to think about it for a minute

[mitchum]

16. I know Harris for three things: "Sun Arise", the Stylophone...

and tieing up (or down) kangaroos :)

7. He may be a righty today,

but he helped me get through my teen years, so he gets a pass from me. Also, he has a sense of humor and isn't as obnoxious about it as Ted Nugent.

3. True story.

When I was teaching high school in CT, I moonlighted as the manager of a video rental place.

We were looking for help, and one day none other than Dennis Dunaway's resume came across my desk. THE Dennis Dunaway.

I hired him, but all I could think was Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Real nice guy, though.

4. I guess school really is out for ever.

:headbang:

5. Alice does a ton of charity work in Phoenix.

He sponsers a golf tournament and a Christmas rock and roll show.
He often talks on the radio and seems like a nice guy.

[no name no slogan]

10. I've heard he does that

I think he's conservative, but not in that Ted Nugent/gun nut wackjob sort of way. Iggy Pop is much the same way-- more libertarian than anything, but they consider themselves conservatives.

8. ahhh memories!

happy birthday Alice! You are one of a kind.

[MrSlayer]

12. He's a Republican and a golfer.

And his music sucks. Fuck him.

21. I liked him before I even knew politics.....

....loved his sappy ballads when I was in elementary school listenin'' to Top 40 on the radio and goin'skatin'....long before my metal daze! :P

:hi: Guess you never found that picture of yourself and Mr. Bach?! I'm extremely disappointed. :evilgrin:

13. I remember seeing him back in January of 1973...

He and the boys were playing at the War Memmorial Auditorium in Utica, NY...

Whilst onstage, he kept saying "uterus noo yawk"... I thought that was sooo f-ing funny!!

[mitchum]

15. Someone on the tour said that if you had to give the US an enema...

Utica is where one would insert the nozzle.
I remember reading that in "Billion Dollar Baby" (the only good book that Bob Greene ever wrote)

[Lyric]

14. Screw you, Alice Cooper.

You're a small-minded, greedy, opportunistic dirtbag who earned a living by encouraging defiance of the Establishment, and then when you'd made YOUR fortune, you joined the Repukes and started helping them oppress everyone else. Go play another 18 holes with McCain, asshat. You're the biggest "traitor to rock" of them all. Even Ted Nugent isn't as big a dick as you are.

:grr:

[Flying Dream Blues]

17. I loved him on Leave It to Beaver.

Someone had to say it.
:evilgrin:

22. One of my faves! The emo fucks could learn a lot from him about integrity and honesty in art.
