St. Alice Cooper: anointed satire vs. sugarcoated praise

Alice Cooper is incredible guy, and (this may be news to some) a deep Christian (good video interview here) His "testimony," is told creatively through the classic "The Last Temptation" CD.

"Ultimately, becoming a Christian became the most rebellious and risky thing I've ever done."

I recently found his autobiography on tbe cut out rack...and here is Keltic Ken checking it out. It was unfortunately (and deceptively) marketed as a golf book ("Alice Cooper,. Golf Monster: A Rock n Roller's 12 Steps to Becoming a Golf Addict'), when it is really just his story...very well told, including his relationship with Christ.

"I sill see the world as in need of a massive shot of not only morality, but also satire...today is the best of times to be Alice...A lot of Alice's show is...satirical. By making fun of society from the fringes, I never have to worry about being mistaken for a sugarcoated praise performer."
