Alice Cooper...God Healed Me

As a young man in my mid teens I went to a second
hand store a few miles down the road and bought
my first Alice Cooper vinyl records.
I was drawn to the album art which was kinda
spooky stuff.

I started off with Pretties For You then The Alice
Cooper Show,a live album.
From The Inside was about a mental institution
then Welcome to my nightmare.

These are just a few to name here but he was speaking
to me thru his music.
Alice was the embodiment of everything i was brought 
up in and taught. He was every mothers worst nightmare.

As a young adult out on my own i bought Flush the Fashion
a punk album and Clones We're All was a wonderful tune.
Alice was singing all the songs nobody else would touch.
Every sick and twisted theme and macabre and hideous,
Alice was writing them all.

On Saturday when i wrote my story about my journey into
paganism and the freedom i felt when i left,didnt really 
sit well,it bothered me a bit but i published it because
thats what i did.

Alice had a rough life.Sex Drugs and Rock and he went 
down a path of destruction and self destruction.
I watched his story in an interview and at first i said
out loud,Dang We Lost Another One, then shook my head.

But his story was gripping and as i watched and listened,
it was if he had reached out and grabbed me and said,
"Wake Up"...

I have gone on my own way for a smidge over 10 years
and rightfully so but Alice was making some dead sense.
He was brought up in the church,his father a minister
and his grandfather an evangelist and he went his own
way and actually in the opposite direction of what he
was taught for a long time.

Alice said God Healed Me as he states in his own words
and has been a Christian for over 20 years now which
strikes me as odd.
The Master of Evil,still has Rock shows,writes music
and records albums but without the prison he built
for himself,he was set free.

I was up late until 5:30 am,couldnt sleep so i fired
up my editor and dropped these 3 videos next to this
story so you can hear it for yourself.

In closing I would like to say, "Thanks Alice"

Peace, BigT
