News Report: Alice & Salvador Dali

Singer Alice Cooper is the head ghoul of Grand Guignol rock. Painter Salvador Dali is the grand Dada of shock work art. What could be more fitting than that Salvador should paint Alice? Or that Alice should pose wearing a million dollars' worth of borrowed jewels and surrounded by a coffee eclair, ants and a soft watch? But it wasn't just a painting. Unveiled in Manhattan last week was a chronological hologram — a three-dimensional photograph inside a continuously turning cylinder. Dali chose Cooper for this novel portrait, he said, because Alice is "the best exponent of total confusion I know."
