Why Alice Cooper got sober

Wishing a happy 75th birthday to Alice Cooper, the godfather of Shock Rock! ⚡️

For over five decades, he’s been entertaining the world with his wild on-stage antics and hauntingly catchy tracks. I still remember this part of our chat when he opened up about the duality of his persona and the initial reason behind his sobriety.

Love Alice Cooper!...
Kudos to Alice on being sober...
It takes a special inner strength to be able to recover!😊

Then there's Keith Richards who is somehow a living mummy

Love the way George interviews him.. Asks all the right questions and allows Alice Cooper to answer without interrupting, you can tell that he is genuinely interested and actually listening to what he has to say, rather than just treating it like it's his job. Alice Cooper has always been a very well spoken articulate man and I could listen to him tell us his life story for hours on end. Great video thanks for posting this.

God bless Alice Cooper. He seems like the genuine article. And don’t we all (deep down inside) love a good redemption story? 🙏

Alice Cooper is a LEGEND/ROLE MODEL in the AA community

[bryanmanx]

I remember thinking he was old in the 90s and he is still going and he has so much life in his eyes

[Happy-uywc]

I saw Alice Cooper at the Hollywood Bowl ... the summer of 1972...I was 16 years old.... 51 years ago. He still looks great. ✌😎👍

God bless you, Alice Cooper. One of our more polite, thoughtful, and articulate rock stars… and his tunes are GREAT!

[bforman]

So glad he made the choice to live and thereby set a better example for his fans and the artists who came after

[lumabi]

Sounds like he's very level-headed and sensible in the wake of friends who checked out early. Good on him for turning things around.

[ronaldelliott]

I don’t believe I’ve ever heard anyone say he was a stupid person. He’s been a very grounded man and a wise artist who always understood the business he was in. 🤘😎
