Book Review

ALICE COOPER.
Steve Demorest. Popular Library/Circus, $1.25

For those who really want to know, the reason that Vincent Furnier, once a musician with a group called the Nazz (also the Spiders, also the Earwigs), changed his name to Alice Cooper is that the real Alice Cooper, an English girl living several hundred years ago whose sister was burned at the stake, informed the group via a Ouija board that Vincent was indeed now Alice. Demorest is a competent enough journalist, but his book reads more like a press release of the "ooh, look how naughty he is" variety than a real biography. Maybe there just isn't anything more to say. [November]
