I spent an hour and a half with Alice Cooper yesterday — just he and I — as I power-walked in the crisp fresh air and he told me the story of his life: Who I Really Am: Diary of a Vampire.
I finally came to know, some 50 years late, what all the shouting’s been about.
What a life!
I doubt I’d be a fan of an Alice Cooper concert. Too loud and chaotic.
But to hear an entire 73-year amazing life in 92 minutes?*
I loved it.
Free, no less. (“Audible Originals” like this one are on the house to members.)
A few weeks earlier, I had gone to a memorial service for a dear friend who, nearing the end of a long illness, had succumbed to Covid in the early days of the pandemic.
Born just five weeks after Alice Cooper, his life was very different — a real estate agent, not a rock star — yet sufficiently rich to fill the Broadway theater where Hamilton plays eight shows a week.
They taped it.
I thought you might like to watch.
What a life!
Have a great weekend.
Hurray for infrastructure.
