Alice Cooper
Alice Cooper is an American singer, songwriter and actor whose career spans over five decades. With his distinctive raspy voice and a stage show that features guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, deadly snakes, baby dolls, and dueling swords, Cooper is considered by music journalists and peers alike to be "The Godfather of Shock Rock". He has drawn equally from horror films, vaudeville, and garage rock to pioneer a macabre and theatrical brand of rock designed to shock people...

On the last day of school, it's the national anthem. On that day, it's the most popular song on the planet. (Laughs.) I become Francis Scott Key for one day.
And you'd be right to do that. But the funny thing is I haven't watered down Alice. Alice the character on stage is just as dastardly as ever. If you sit in the first 20 rows of my show, you're covered in fake blood. The attitude behind it is totally for fun. The audience in the '70s was so easy to shock. Now I can't be as shocking as CNN.
I've already played with Tiger! He mentioned me in a golf magazine as one of the best celebrity golfers.
This community cannot afford to go backwards we need to be moving ahead and moving together regardless of the color of skin one has,
I'm on in 80 cities. Madison was the first place we went No. 1 in the ratings.
City people live the city. We live in L.A., New York, we live in places where it's chaotic and you never know what's gonna happen. And that's the music - you never know what's gonna happen.
I promise every time I walk down this street I will polish that little star,
I play every single morning. Alice Cooper has never played golf. I play golf. If you put golf clubs on stage, he would think they were weapons.
He started to, but we said we weren't happy with the feelings we got off the cut... the album now is more us than the other production that Frank did.
He's Lou Rawls, one of the legends in the business.
The new songs fit right in. They are so close to that style. That is what you want. I wanted them to sound like that era.
That's the fun audience, ... Everybody is there to have fun.
It (playing fairs) is a little more challenging and at the same time a little easier,
The age of the audience has dropped 10-15 years, maybe more. All of the audiences through Spain, Italy through Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia are like 15-16 through 25. It's like 1972 again.
