episode 89: The Alice Cooper Episode
Today's guest is Gary Graff, author of Alice Cooper @75. Gary's book goes in-depth to explore 75 key moments in the history of Alice Cooper - the man and the band. It covers his early beginnings, time spent in LA in the 1960s, skyrocket successes in the early '70s, and the enduring career that followed.
Gary discuss some of these moments and also go over a few songs, including "I'm Eighteen" and "No More Mr. Nice Guy." The book is a must-read for anyone interested in Alice Cooper. The "Dying To Entertain Us" chapter, where Alice takes a macabre turn, is particularly compelling, although not for the squeamish. Please enjoy this nightmarishly delightful episode.
