Talk about prodigal son, Cooper’s father was a Mormon minister. He rebelled about as far from Christianity as one could, and then faith in God saved him from death from alcoholism.
As a side note, his was the first concert I ever went to, in 1973. It was his Billion Dollar Babies tour, complete with guillotine, boa constrictor, six inch platform leopard skin knee-high boots, and many more theatrical props.
I wasn’t even old enough to drive. My buddy’s Mom dropped us off and my Mom picked us up afterword. We reeked of a certain type of smoke. Thank goodness she had no idea what it was.
