Alice Cooper on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos

http://www.cbc.ca/thehour

Alice Cooper - The 'King of Shock Rock' and a true pioneer of rock and roll. But get this - he's also a devout Christian (he's a substitute Sunday school teacher, reformed alcoholic and an avid golfer (he's written a book on golf. To truly appreciate his genius, think about what music was like, when he hit the scene in the late '60s. He invented rock n' roll theatre and in the '70s, Alice's career exploded. He became the poster boy for evil and every parent's worst nightmare. But his fans have always loved him. Alice has sold more than 50 million albums, he has a radio show 5 nights a week, he turned 60 this year and he's touring again - for his 25th studio album. That's right, his 25th. It's called 'Along Came A Spider' and it's about a serial killer. Oh, how very Alice.

This guy - George S - is a great interviewer. He prepped well, asked intelligent questions, and let the subject talk. Alice is a great interview and speaks well. This was a fantastic segment.

@TenStoryLoveSong So, basically, children who are brought up to believe in a religion, and without a chance to choose a religion they simply believe in, are morons.

But you, who were brought up NOT to believe in religion, and without a chance to choose a religion you simply like, are NOT a moron?

Atheism really isn't that different from theism. Theists generally don't like other religions, atheists generally don't like any religions. Atheism is just a religion without gods...

@lesterclaypool1 Erm nice try, but my parent's were good enough to keep me away from pastors and priests! Christians are insane morons. My family kept me away fom them and I would fight to protect children from the same cults myself. It's a shame nobody was there to protect Alice from the cult of Jesus too,
