Might as well get the pointy part done up front. This of course, is Nita Strauss, one of Alice Cooper’s guitarists. She replaced this other pointy blonde, Orianthi.
Near the end of the show at the Greek Theater Sunday night, Orianthi did a cameo and for a while, I thought I had double vision. 2 pointy blonde guitar vixens… quite a sight. And sound.
Episode 117 is a buffet. Beginning with a chalice of blood from the godfather of shock rock. Alice Cooper is now 70 years old and has been packing venues for almost 50 of those years. And his show is better than ever, fresher than ever. How does he do that? How does somebody achieve timeless cool as he has? We’ll try to figure it out
From impossibly cool to impossibly stupid, there’s a growing faction of fuckballs who would like to see people like Alice – or anyone who isn’t part of the “That’s Offensive” club… banned. They’re after freedom of expression in any medium – speech, art, film and now music. They’re after Steve Wonder, McCartney, and other performers they deem “insensitive.” Fuck them and the Commie PC electric scooter they rode in on.
At last, a fresh radio format comes to America… Chinese propaganda. The Red Menace from the East has bought a border blaster – that’s an ultra high powered radio station in Tiajuana, and they intend to blanket the Southwestern US with Maoist Messages. Can’t wait. Should be fun. I have already engineered the audio answer to this Commie plot (and to the PC song censors.) You’ll find it in the show at the 12:52 mark.
Finally, how do you get over the one that got away? Armando, long time listener and Patrioni, wants to know. So we tell him. It’s not as difficult as one might think.
Try my methods out. Let me know if they work for you.
