who regularily listens to the alice cooper rock show? i found it a
fair while back on dab and have been listening to it most week
nights for over a year or so now . i've discoverd an awfull lot of
'classic' rock songs i had never heard of before and cannot believe
i never heard before, pluss diiscoverd a lot of rock songs i grew
up with are covers of better original versions..
concidering i grew up listening to mostly punk, new wave and indie
during the middle 70's to early 80's, i guess i would have missed
out on propper good rock. back when i was a kid, punk was a kick in
the balls to old school rock and anything before it was borign old
hippy shit.
i think punk was a bit short sighted on that score. needed none the
less, but still short sighted.

he's touring here this year. i saw a link to his shows (35 quid a
ticket) earlyer on when checking my email.
i imagine his shows are pretty good, i can remember the fuss made
about him in the 70's and people trying to have him banned.

i saw him in toronto around 72 , 73 , he cut his head off ,
but now with so much more live media coverage ,
shock rock just ain't the same
That'd make 15 or so times I've seen Cooper live.
Alice still still kicks ass in concert.
(Shikhee, Emileigh Rohn, Erica Dunham, Stacia Tucker), better than
straight electronic, but still love the TD classics:
Rubycon Part I/ Zeit Part IV/ Rubycon Part II is a great great hour-
long sequence, the Zeit part "Zeit" fitting beautifully with the
Caesar-Rubicon interpretation of Rubycon (Rubycon Part I is arrival at
the river, Zeit Part IV "Zeit" is the sleepless calculating overnight
passage, and Rubycon Part II is the crossing at dawn, into the Civil
War and the end of the Roman Republic).

I was listening to Aqua t'other day, too.
