And I've seen him in concert back end of 09 and he looks good, sounds great and is loving it. True legend. Anybody that hasn't seen Alice in concert is missing out.

I grew up in Windsor Ontario back then Alice played at one of the High Schools in the area. The Stooges played at my school :) Peace

@ I don't think the MC5 played Windsor that I'm aware of. I did see most of the Detroit bands but never seen the MC5 or Alice :) Peace

[@jimiplayscobo5877]

@ Growing in that area I think it was the best place for music. There was Motown then the MC5 and the Stooges Ted Nugent and the list goes on. I think a lot of bands liked playing in Detroit because of their history in music. Cactus was a part Detroit band with Jimmy Mcarty on guitar and Rusty Day on vocals both Detroit rockers. Check them out if you haven't heard of them:) Peace

This cat was out there for a long time, now he claims his Christianity. He is the legend when it comes to the hard rock style music. I remember in that same Fall of the year after summer vacation is when he came out with Billion Dollar Babies? That LP had all our parents saying he was the Antichrist? He was out there.
