Hey, you survived the travesty (well, that’s what some die hard fans say – I think it was cool that he tried out New Wave, although seeing him all the time back then with his hair pulled back hurts me) that was Special Forces and Flush the Fashion? 
Those videos are rife all over the places and even though they’re saved to my favorites (to complete my collection), they are difficult to watch. Although, I will be adding them to my other CDs whenever I can afford it.
Oh, and Monster Dog is a hoot! I bought that off of eBay, along with almost every bit of concert footage he has, and I agree whole heartedly. It IS a prized possession. Good job!!
Hi Daniel honey. Don’t think I’ve forgotten you, just after the funeral I haven’t been able to focus long enough to catch up the 4 gazillion emails in my inbox. I promise you’ll hear from me soon and as always, anything you send makes me feel tons better. I live for those kinds of smiles.
Love ya. And thanks for the piece of Alice. Or, heh, is that not what you meant?
The book has gotten rave reviews and it’s thoroughly enjoyable. I’m really glad to see folks branching out and reading it that aren’t necessarily hardcore. The only thing is I wish it was more in depth. There’s just not enough detail, you know? I crave having all knowledge about Alice stuffed into my brain 'til its full and overflowing. Plus, I tended to get somewhat glazed hearing about golf. Not that he wasn’t funny, but argh, I’d rather read more about him turning down Raquel Welch. That is the shit that’s is priceless now!
Going to Cortez, huh? I can’t fathom what that must’ve been like, especially still being there during his halycon days of the late 70s. Running my hands over what he must’ve touched?! Hmmm, I better stop or otherwise, I’ll be “Working Up A Sweat.” Yeah, it doesn’t take much to set me off. 
And just to add to those wannabes, that kind of lighting only strikes once. So there.
I’m jealous of your family dammit, but they didn’t know who he was (or do you mean just initially – if so, we can let that one slide)??? [ ::: faints ::: ] ‘Cause I was goin’ say, even back in my fundamentalist Christian days, I was very well aware of who the Prince of Darkness was. Still, of course he’s the nicest guy ever. Surely you had no doubt! 
Oh, and about Cooper’stown, I hope (hope, hope, hope beyond belief) that I’ll get to go on a pilgrimage there next winter with some other Cooperites for Christmas Pudding. There’s no line-up listed yet, but I bet it’ll be exciting.
Now Biffy, you know that wasn’t what he was talking about. It was this one of the Cranberries’ instead. 
Actually, during the Tulsa show, I noticed he’d changed the lyrics to “dirty cup.” I wonder why, as I’m not sure I think that’s better. Regardless, that song is one of my guilty pleasures. I can’t imagine why that is either.
“Eighteen, and I don’t know what I want.” I suppose that makes it a befitting legacy then.
I so want that!! Probably for the same reason that they pulled (hehehe – I crack myself up) it. Unfortunately, to get the vinyl costs too much, so I’ve been watching to try and find an 80s cassette. Which for some inexplicable (or maybe not) had the original shot rather than the revision. And I had no idea about that on the Canadian BSB. You lucky dog! I only wonder if it’d be worth the money to spend on an original School’s Out that included the infamous flammable (yeah, that worked that, didn’t they?) panties as the protector sleeve. It’s certainly an enticing proposition, although I’m pretty much tapped after I shelled out the dough to get one of the original (with brown cardboard cover) Muscle of Love prints. Decisions, decisions.
Demos!? Ooooh. Who would’ve thought that about them either? Considering they were one of the most hated bands in California. Now if only The Powers That Be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame would get off their collective asses and do something about Alice’s lack of inclusion, then all would be right with the world and world peace would ensue.
I love “Lost In America” too and it permanently resides on my All Alice, All The Time MP3 mix. As to him being on Monk, that’s another I have saved but don’t find it nearly as appealing as most else. I just don’t think they showed him to good enough advantage. I’d be thrilled to see him on any cable shows (I check on that religiously, once a week), but have thus far missed anything on the History Channel. Youtube, where are you?? And, I got Roadie off of Netflix not too long ago. Despite the fact that he was way too thin, there were several parts that were stellar… “Black leather, check. Red cup, check. Snake, check. Eyes, check.” and the bit about the martian doll. Adored that so much I had to find one on eBay and snatch it up. But to have the original would be divine!
Kinda like having some “Whiplash,” the mascara he put out in the (I think) mid-70s. Considering there’s only supposed to be like 3 left in existence, we’re talking several thousands of bucks. [ ::: sigh ::: ] Guess I’ll stick to posters for now. But, just to add, for any potential autograph seekers out there; try to avoid asking him to sign any copies of The Alice Cooper Show. He’s said countless times that, although he will oblige, he’ll also state how much he hated that album (for personal reasons). Just sayin’.
But it’s just so perfect, how could I ever want anything different?!
Course, I still haven’t even ever tried pot, so I doubt I could be quite so zealous in my pursuit of chemical recreation. I’ll live through you instead. As to the Billion Dollar Babies tour? Holy shit! I’m assuming that must’ve been one of the trippiest thing ever. Those boots (yummmm), fighting some guy from the crowd who crawled up on stage, hanging stuff off his, erm, nether regions (no, I’m not kidding), the really gross spitting stuff and, yup, the whole fear of dentists bit was just surreal. No wonder Groucho thought he was the last hope for vaudeville.
