Kort biografi: Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier; February 4, 1948) is an American singer, songwriter, and actor whose career spans over fifty years. With his distinctive raspy voice and a stage show that features guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, deadly snakes, baby dolls, and dueling swords, Cooper is considered by music journalists and peers alike to be "The Godfather of Shock Rock". He has drawn equally from horror films, vaudeville, and garage rock to pioneer a macabre and theatrical brand of rock designed to shock people

Who I Really Am: Diary of a Vampire af Alice Cooper

Wonderfully short autobiography of Alice Cooper. He refers to himself only as Alice, but also refers to the band as Alice, and I'm not an Alice fan (although I certainly enjoy the hits), and yet he makes it perfectly clear that he is not Alice. One is a persona, a show designed with purpose to entertain and cleverly marketed to shock and outrage parents and authority figures. But the man's story begins and ends with his Christian faith, too, and I find it curious that unlike his show persona, his faith is private, personal, and does not in any way resemble that of showy, well-marketed televangelists and their ilk.

I enjoyed his anecdotes, and even more the acoustic snippets of his music. I also appreciated that he shared his struggles with fame and drugs and alcohol without endlessly wallowing in it. I am deeply unhappy that he didn't talk about the Muppet Show appearances.

Audiobook freebie via the Audible Plus catalog. Read by the man himself.… (mere)

The Last Temptation af Neil Gaiman

A fantasy Halloween collaboration between Neil Gaiman and Alice Cooper about life, choices, and tempations. A bit too on-the-nose.

Alice Cooper, Golf Monster: A Rock 'n' Roller's 12… af Alice Cooper

It might help to already be a fan of Alice Cooper before you read this book. Or maybe you're curious about who he is and have a high tolerance for golf. Or maybe you really like golf and can't believe a guy named Alice does, too. Otherwise, there may not be enough here to keep you interested until the end. Personally, all three apply and I liked it.

This is a light, easyily read, personality book. It's all Alice all the time, written from the perspective of a man who's found himself (as well as Jesus Christ) and is comfortable with that. His co-writers make it all easy to digest, although they do let the narrative meander quite a bit. The presentation is more topical than chronological and sometimes it's not clear what time period is being discussed.

If you already know a bit about Alice, there are probably not too many surprises here. If you don't, there are probably only the obvious surprises.… (mere)
