The entire film is a perfect lens to view life among 15-20 y/o's living in the 70's. The soundtrack to the movie is top notch, as well as the cars people drive in it. There are some things in the movie that I found strange, like high school seniors hazing incoming freshman, that wasn't a big thing in the Northeast where I grew up,. I think it was a more regional thing and this movie takes place in a Texas town.

True Alice Cooper Story # 2 The first time I saw the band under the Alice Cooper name was on 2/16/1972 (with Redbone as the opener) at the Tucson Community Center Arena. I had seats at center floor about 8 rows back from the stage, and during the days before the show I was constantly giving my good friend shit because his were another 20 rows back. I visited him before the show began and chuckled to myself because he was seated next to a couple that were older than his parents. Well, those old fogies were Alice's mom and dad, and they filled my friend with Alice facts that were unknown to the general public at that time, including his real name. They even spelled out Furnier for him. Fortunately for me, my friend was gracious and told me everything he remembered.

My dad used to wake me up to this song every year on the last day of school. Good memories.

A delicate and thoughtful song on the choice of the Texas school curriculum and the long-lasting after affects on the students.

I saw Cooper twice, about 20 years between. Both times were just amazing shows. Alice just never gets old.

You guys got it right that was just a dramatic way of looking forward to the last day of school. Nobody was blowing up or shooting up schools back then, not to be taken literally! One of the greatest riff rockers of all time!

You are spot on Brad. This song was screaming through the speakers on the last day of school. And the school I attended was wild on the last day. It was a wild school during the year. Last day seemed everyone totally lost it.

I couldn't believe how great it felt when Fall came around and I did NOT have to go to school after I graduated from college that Spring.

Alice is a true legend in every sense of the word. One of the greatest and most influential artists in the history of rock music.
