He Continues His Madness
The madness continues. Music is stepping up side by side with the added show. And Alice Cooper gives the best example of such attempts.
Alice Cooper has been at the forefront of the "Pop" scene for years. Although he is a man, he introduced himself under a woman's name, then he started to act as a "homosexual" and now, or rather in the last two years, he has had an outrageous show or "Mad Show" as it is called in the West. In these performances during Alice Cooper concerts, he includes games such as separating a baby's head from its body, making love with a snake, and lying under the guillotine. In this way, he manages to make a name for himself. Those who watch his concerts do not know so many crazy things could be done together. But the truth is that each passing day is a new step, a new initiative in the continuation of Alice Cooper.
Genius or crazy?
There are more and more people who say "Alice Cooper is to music what Salvador Dali is to painting". No one can make a definite judgment about him. They can't decide whether Alice is a genius or a madman. But one thing is clear, one thing is certain. Alice Cooper knows people better than anyone else. He knows what they want, what they enjoy, how to get their attention. He knows that change is a constant for people. And he knows how to take advantage of it. He continues to work hard. And as long as he continues to do so, he fills his pockets with dollars. Not drop by drop, but like a flood, the money is pouring in.
Even the Lords...
Most recently, Alice Cooper, who prompted the Lords to take action against British youth for their bad manners, has become a symbol of the world moving into a new era, or the New Generation. Those who were once happy in Alice's Wonderland are finding the same happiness in Alice's world of madness. The children of the Beatles era are watching these developments with amazement. Why homosexual people, people who make love with snakes, people who lie under the guillotine, why they attract attention, is always on the mind. There is no answer, there can't be. At the end of every question, at the end of every issue, there is money, there is interest. You can't give answers, solutions, because you are confronted with pillars, obstacles. And as long as they cut you off, the confusion continues. Let's also give some new news in these last lines. Alice Cooper is continuing his freak-outs with a huge toothbrush. He puts a woman inside a huge tooth made of leather and walks her around the stage... As she walks around the stage, Alice Cooper brushes her with a huge brush. In this way, it goes from mouth to mouth again, making headlines in magazines and newspapers.
