Starting in 2009, I was able to co-host some radio shows on D93 (WDNS) in Bowling Green, KY, thanks to DJs Bryan Locke and Tommy Starr.
Those shows are now available, if you have any interest in listening to my KISS and Alice Cooper specials, or our Webb Wilder Home Cookin’ ahead of WebbFest IV. Other Webb Wilder shows can be found on the audio pages of my Webb Wilder site.
My friend Bert Edens has put together a horror anthology of stories inspired by the music of Alice Cooper. Dismember the Coop will be released on February 15, 2024, and some of the proceeds will benefit the Solid Rock Foundation, which runs teen centers and was founded by the Coopers.
For full details, including ordering links, visit Bert’s website.

I’ve been very lucky to get to meet and to know, to some degree, Alice Cooper.
After the opening of his Theatre of Death Tour in 2009, his managers, Shep Gordon and Toby Mamis, invited me to write a blog post about the night for Alice’s website. I did, and then I wrote similar posts for three other great experiences I had.
The First Time I Met Alice Cooper – September 30, 2000
Wonders in AliceLand – July 30, 2009
The Opening of the No More Mr. Nice Guy Tour – May 12, 2011 (the time our intrepid hero had his own personal concert)
The Original Alice Cooper Group – May 14, 2017 (and Lynda Carter, too!)
I’ve seen a total of 30 Alice Cooper concerts, plus two dress rehearsals and the original group performance described in the 2017 post above.
On March 16, 1968, the group known as Alice Cooper performed under that name for the very first time.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary, original AC bassist Dennis Dunaway has posted a “day by day” blog about the Alice Cooper reunion shows in the UK in November 2017. It’s a great read!
