Now this is interesting...

...Alice Cooper on Marty Stuart's American Odyssey, on Outlaw Country, Sirius Ch. 63: "Lines form on my face and my hands, lines form on the left and right, I'm in the middle, the middle of life...I'm a boy and I'm a man, I'm eighteen and I like it..."
I never thought of Alice Cooper as ANY kind of country, even though that particular channel is a bit out there sometimes. But that was a great song, from a great artist, and I guess it IS quintessentially American. Alice Cooper's another of those artists who seems to have just one song played on classic rock radio, namely "School's Out." And that's a great song too, but there was so much more to his catalog than that one song. I am glad to be discovering more of that catalog.
