Breitbart: Veteran rock singer-songwriter Alice Cooper was born into the church but nearly died living outside of it.
The moment of truth for Cooper came forty years ago, after the rock star drank so much he began throwing up blood.
“Everything that could go wrong was shutting down inside of me,” Cooper, told the New York Daily News’ Confidential.
“I was drinking with Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix and trying to keep up with Keith Moon and they all died at 27,” Cooper explained.
That awakening made Cooper realize that he needed to change his ways. Specifically, it led him back to the church.
“My wife and I are both Christian,” Cooper, who is portraying King Herod in Jesus Christ Superstar, told Confidential. “My father was a pastor, my grandfather was an evangelist. I grew up in the church, went as far away as I could from it — almost died — and then came back to the church.”
Having lived as both a rock star and a Christian, Cooper has an appreciation for why some people might see a contradiction in claiming to be both.
“There’s nothing in Christianity that says I can’t be a rock star,” he explained. “People have a very warped view of Christianity. They think it’s all very precise and we never do wrong and we’re praying all day and we’re right wing. It has nothing to do with that. It has to do with a one-on-one relationship with Jesus Christ.” more here
I enjoy him as a DJ. Lots of good commentary on the music.
I listen to his nightly radio show when I’m working on the truck.
um…… that’s it. He seems nice.
Well now he will be persona non grata at the next MTV/Grammy awards ceremony.
Wait tomorrow the view show bitch will make fun of him.. the DEMS are evils
He’s now among the elected! 😀
Christians are the silent majority.
Christians will remain silent until the pastors of their Churches start teaching the Word of God, lead their flock and fight evil on its own ground.
I was never a fan of Alice Cooper, music wise.
But he’s a reformed guy. And he golfs. And we could probably be buddies. And we could probably use each other’s support. Recovering from alcoholism is tough business. Slipping into it happens one little sip at a time.
Nobody aspires to become an alcoholic.
It starts innocently, one party at a time.
His Dad is a pastor. He’s always had Christianity running through his veins. His father looks at Alice’s art as a humorous expression. The new version of Feed my Frankenstein with Steve Vai and Joe Satriani playing guitars is one awesome number that can not be matched in the halls of Rock.
I must confess … alcohol has, many times, saved me from Christianity
otoh, Christ has saved me, many times, from myself
Went to a few of his shows, all were very good.
If you ever get a chance to see one, do it.
The 70’s were a different time, we did not have a shoot out after the show.

RIP Soupy.
Moderation in all things – Jesus drank wine but He was without sin. What spews from your wicked heart is what defiles you – like the nonsense coming from the libtards nowadays.
Well my mother thought he was the freaking devil and took away my AC albums.
So that’s why I am not into satanic music. My mother would listen to all of my album
purchases to make sure the words or music would not turn me into a drunken stoner like
my cousin. Who did two tours in Vietnam. As military intelligence. He is 10 years older than I am and not too bright in my opinion. Maybe Vietnam had something to do with his downfall, not music.
Here it is this freaking rocks!!!

Steve Vai and Joe Statriani on guitars!!!
I heard about him paying off the mortgage of a painter who, losing his house in a recession painted Alice Cooper eyes on the garage door and various other band logos around the other elevations.
Alice Cooper is a regular guy who made it big doing something weird.
Ain’t that America
Skrools out for ever! An interesting guy and I appreciate his “deliverance” hope i can get there someday…..

One of the only positive things about living in AZ for me (because I really do hate it here) is that I get to share state citizenship with him and Stevie Nicks. ;b
No catapult needed with him, eh Catapult Bob? 😀
He put it nice and simple. Many of the Atheist faith tend to think Christians are hypocrites for still being sinners. They just don’t hear the good news that’s available to everyone.
