Do Not Go Gentle

Cooper is an avid golfer and says that the sport helped him play a major role in overcoming his addiction to alcohol. -- Wikipedia


Has he ever been tempted to own a

More gentle or placid persona,

And make a new life

With his golf and his wife

In secluded and warm Arizona?

Retirement Pillage

During the interview, Cooper remarked "I look at Mich Jagger and he's on an 18-month tour and he's six years older than me, so I figure, when he retires, I have six more years. I will not let him beat me when it comes to longevity." -- Wikipedia


The stunts that defined Alice Cooper

Would have put lesser men in a stupor,

And it’s more of a chore

When you’re ten and three score,

By golly, the man is a trooper!
