Alice Cooper helping kids

While we’re patiently waiting for the new album to arrive, here’s something completely different… From azcentral.com: Alice Cooper to break ground on Phoenix youth center

Cooper plans to help draw the line for local youth, namely around his own teen recreation center. The musician’s Christian nonprofit, Solid Rock Foundation, has begun fundraising efforts for a 20,000-square-foot facility that will include a recording studio, indoor basketball courts, a rock climbing wall, coffee house, game room and a concert hall.

In fact, he already has celebrity pals in mind to either perform or guest-lecture - artists like Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick and Weird Al Yankovic.

Pretty neat, eh? I’ve heard that Alice Cooper and his kids have been long-time fans of Weird Al. On a related note, check out this photo on WeirdAl.com of Al and Alice together.

    This is indeed great news! I would love to hear/see Al give a lecture in this new building. Will Alice still have the Christmas Pudding shows, to keep his Solid Rock Foundation going? Maybe Al can perform again. :)
