Old Al

OLD AL
Off we go to the pub to see Alice Cooper in his own tribute band.                                                           How can this be?                                                                                                                                    Old Al pensioned off and retired from mainstream heavy metal.                                                          Ending up in a tribute band of students and pensioners with Ozzie on the drums.                                     He finally learnt an instrument.                                                                                                                They don’t half make a racket, old Alice in his Alice Cooper Tribute Band.                                                     You’d think they’d have a younger singer wouldn’t you?                                                                 Instead of a geriatric old rocker.                                                                                                             Yet he fills the pub and the bar does a roaring trade.                                                                         Rumor has it that a young Alice Cooper is kept on ice in a secret bunker,                                                   his identical clone ready to take over the reigns when Old Al pops his clogs and goes to the heavy metal gig venue in the sky.                                                                                                          The story of Alice Cooper will start again indoctrinating a whole new generation of metal heads with ‘Schools Out’ and ‘Poison’, while ‘Lost in America.’                                                                       Watch this space.
