Top of Texas Gazette: Elected

November 5, 2014

A little late for Tuesday's elections, but the sentiment remains.

Alison said...: I remember Alice Cooper when I was young but never gave him much attention , just always thought of how he would have been at home in one of the horror movies , and yes I suppose that was his gimmick , I went to read about him a little on Wiki and read he is a born again christian , he sounds like he is a very amiable person off stage, still going strong in the entertainment business and is in the Hall of Fame ,maybe he should be Elected , sure is more liked then P.Obama .; November 6, 2014 at 8:23 AM
Mike said...: He was a favorite of mine when I was a young man in school - he was just getting really popular about the time I was a senior in h.s. I used to listen to "Under My Wheels" while driving fast to school, and "Schools Out" came out just about when I was graduating.

It wasn't just the music, but also that he had a "shock value", a counter-culture, sort of outrageous like Elton John. (another favorite at that time, still is)

I sometimes catch Cooper's radio show Nights with Alice Cooper on my truck radio where he plays songs from that era, really good. I need to see if it's online so I can listen to it regularly.

I was glad to hear he was a Christian, proving to me that rock 'n roll doesn't necessarily have to be "the Devil's music" and also that, even though he's not outspoken about his politics, that he's basically conservative.
