Alice's Cooperage (a little OtR)
I remember learning to be a disc jockey at a tiny college station, and
finding the new CD single for "Unholy War" from 1995's The Last
Temptation album, with guest appearances by musical luminaries such as
Chris Cornell of Soundgarden. That was right before I met Linford
Detweiler, wearing the same cap as in the Eve photo, at Cornerstone
Magazine's Music And Arts Festival. That might have been the only year,
besides 1999, that OtR did not perform at Cornerstone Magazine's Music
And Arts Festival.
My most vivid personal memories of Alice Cooper are from the late
seventies mainstreaming period, when John Davidson would cover his
ballads on TV.
