This day 37 years ago, horror rocker ALICE COOPER almost lost his life during
a concert in London. He accidentally hung himself in a rehearsal when a safety
rope snapped. He dangled for several seconds before a roadie saved him. Cooper
was attached to a harness that was attached to the rafters by a thick piano wire
that kept the noose above his neck.
School could have been out forever for Alice.

This day 50 years ago, on 12 August 1972, the Michigan-born freak creep
ALICE COOPER topped the UK Singles Chart with SCHOOL’S OUT.
Vincent Damon Furnier (his real name) claimed that the song was inspired
by responding to the question: “What’s the greatest three minutes of your life?”
with the following two answers. One: “Christmas morning”. Two: “The last
three minutes of the last day of school.” In America the single hit #7.

It’s the 21st of June today! Start of the summer.
Just like last year you can turn your summer into a holiday,
on a daily basis, with a video shot of a live performance of
mad for it artists/bands.
ALICE COOPER gets the honour to kick off these series
because his 5th LP SCHOOL’S OUT turns 50 next week
(released on 30 June 1972).

Vincent Damon Furnier aka ALICE COOPER was born on 4 February 1948 in Detroit, Michigan. Happy 74 to the bombastic rocker. As a 16-year old he started to play in some bands, like The Spiders and Nazz. As Todd Rundgren’s band also called Nazz, Cooper and his henchmen came up with another name, Alice Cooper (it was the group’s name at first).
Between 1969 and today Alice canned 28 studio LPs, with Detroit Stories, released
last year, as the most recent one. The shock-rocker is still alive and kicking… and paranormal.
