NO MORE MISTER NICE GUY

Alice Cooper had a concert in Oshkosh last night. Most of the concerts in the series are has-been acts--Herman's Hermits without Herman, one of the Monkees as a solo act. Alice did himself proud--he was looking good (for Alice, that is) and didn't skimp on the show. It wasn't padded out by long rambling intros between songs ( i.e.,"this was a hit in 1968, and knocked the Beatles out of number one"). Started out with "No more Mr. Nice Guy", ended with "School's out," and came out for an encore.

There is something ironic about a guy in his sixties singing, "Eighteen," and "School's out," but I guess his audience never got over their teenage angst.
