Alice Cooper's been through the rock and roll wringer, and it sounds like his new memoir isn't shying away from the really dark stuff. When someone of his stature opens up about brushes with addiction that nearly cost them their life, it's worth taking seriously, not just as sensationalism but as a genuinely sobering reminder of what the industry could do to musicians back then. For Cledvibes Radio listeners who grew up with Cooper's music, this kind of candid reflection might add some unexpected depth to those classic records we still love playing. October's going to be interesting for anyone curious about what really went on behind the shock and theatrics.
