When Vincent Furnier AKA Alice Cooper, takes the stage, he is playing a role. Just like an other actor, the real person sheds role as he leaves the stage. I have seen Alice Cooper 5 times. Each time was better than the last. Vincent grew up in Detroit and is a P.K. He grew up in Church. The song I love the dead is no different than 18 or Schools Out or The ballad of Dwight Fry. They are just songs. I know, String, the original post was jest. Where you been hidin, son? I'm retired now, and I ain't got time for nothing anymore. Actually, we moved to Tennessee almost two years ago. I somehow forgot my password. It took a while to reset it
