I've got a back stage pass to see Alice Cooper on Saturday

Glad you had a great time!

My own little Alice Cooper story:

When I was 16, he came to town to do a concert, and was staying at the motel my mom worked at as a maid. His block of rooms was in her section. She was just finishing his room up as they all arrived, and in walked Alice with his dufflebag. She told him she had 2 daughters that really liked him (my cousin was living with us at the time) and he told her to bring us to the motel after she got off work and he would fix us up.

Mom had NO idea who he was other than having heard us gush how we wished we could go to the concert, but couldn’t afford the tickets. So after work, she brought my cousin and I to his room. He greeted us warmly, signed autoraphed pictured, gave us each a hat, and… tickets to the show along with back stage passes!

Unfortunately, Mom had talked to some of her co-workers who had described his ‘satanic’ show, so she wouldn’t allow us to go to the concert. I never understood why it was OK for her to take us to his MOTEL ROOM but not OK for us to see his show.

I never forgave my mother that one.

Oh rats! But you got to meet him in his motel room (ooh la la) and…well he is touring now…it’s not too late to see him live!

According to the woman who worked for him who got us the passes, he was very down to earth and good to work for. She was with him for 11 years, from the mid 80s to the mid 90s.

Oh yeah, if he ever appears close to me & I have the chance, I will definitely go see him! The good ol’ days of rock really were THE GOOD OL’ DAYS! (Really thinking about going to see Bob Seger here in November…)
