Is this really Alice Cooper looking kind of wholesome and Californian? Yes it is, and I have a new pin-up boy.

When I was a kid I thought Alice Cooper was British, but I guess I had him mixed up with Ozzy Osbourne. I’m sure that’s a cardinal sin for hard rock fans but I was in the deepest darkest recesses of Australia and I was ten so sue me. Those teeth seal the deal for me. Very un-British.

He and the band were signed by Frank Zappa after showing up to play at his house at 7 in the morning, and apparently their early onstage look was developed by hanging out with the GTOs and dressing up “like life sized Barbie dolls”.

My kind of guys.
