Interview with Alice Cooper on late musician Glen Campbell

[@teller1290]

@@terryjp3050 don't try to use that on me. I know the context of it. It's okay as a Christian to use your brain to discern and reason and spot inconsistencies. It is not a "judgement" of Cooper's eternal destination by me but merely pointing out that Manson's example to this point in his life is not a Christian one - nor was intended to be.

[@teller1290]

@Brian Cleveland yeh, I know abstract meaning and Biblical context. The context is hypocrisy, not merely judging or coming to a decision about what is Christian conduct and what is not. This admonition was given immediately following a grievous example of hypocrisy on the part of one or more people. In other words, "Judge not, lest ye be judged," isn't designed to handcuff Christians in approving or disapproving of things in the society around them. It was a warning to Christians engaged in essentially same acts in private that they were publicly condemning. God is not fooled by such conduct.

I come back to this every once in awhile, just for a smile. To hear Alice tell things about Glen, not as a way to harm Glen, just to tell the truth speaks volumes about their friendship. I remember in the 70's reading all about things like his fling with Tanya Tucker, his drug addiction, and somehow he came through the other side where the sun shines, and it was really hard to watch the documentary because I saw my mom decline to nothing thanks to Alzheimer's. She was our church organist for 50 years, she had learned to play as a girl, and when we finally decided she couldn't live safely by herself we placed her in a nursing home. Her first few years there were great because she would sit down at the piano in the dining room to play and many of the residents would be drawn to the music. Her final 3 years she no longer recognized the piano or what it was for. It was a relief when she did pass away. She wasn't "living" when that time came. There has to be some great music in heaven when you think about all who made music are there when you get there. Rock and Roll will never die.

I saw a concert of his, performing with his family a couple of years before he passed away. He needed a teleprompter to remember his lyrics, but his musicianship was perfect. His guitar and banjo skills were so entrenched in his brain that he still had it right to the end.

I remember getting out of Jr. high school 7th grade for the summer and Alice was the man. In 1972 all you could hear was School's Out blasting from every car radio, Always loved you Alice, I'm 57 and I've loved your music since I was 13!!!!!!!!

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

I first heard "Some Folks", which never charted (album cut) in late '76. It's from "Welcome to my Nightmare", a '75 album. Loved it ever since!

Same grade as u when "School's Out ", hit Lodi California . What a year 1972 was! Alice was the man for sure!!! He both, really scared me and fascinated me at same time.

I loved Glen Campbell. In 1971 I bought an ovation guitar that was called the Glen Campbell special. That guitar is now 50 years old. I play it to this day and still love the sound, thank you Glenn, and thank you Alice for the respect that you show!

[@rescue270]

The Ovation guitar was developed by aircraft engineer Charlie Kaman using aerospace composite material instead of traditional wood construction. Charlie Kaman was a professional guitarist. He turned down an offer to be guitarist with the Tommy Dorsey orchestra in order to pursue his business of developing a unique helicopter based on a WWII German design. Years later, he used the latest thing in aircraft structural technology to go back to his roots, and he developed a space-age guitar.

I always liked the real Alice Cooper as opposed to the character he portrays in concerts. He’s such a great story teller and is so knowledgeable about all the other characters of the music industry. I can easily see why he was friends with all these other stars.

Your statement is very profound. I read the comments first before I listened to the interview. I was never a fan of AC as his music appeared to be in the dark side. He is a stand-up person and in the Kingdom of God. I just don't know enough about his on stage performance character. I would think that he would renounce that part, but that's not my problem.

I'm a fan of good country but mostly a rock and roll fan from Detroit. Alice is right. Glenn was a legend. His guitar playing and his songwriting is legendary. Literally a legend lost. I can love crazy Alice and Kiss, and metal acts and Ozzy and Ramstein and Maiden and Slayer, SOAD, Tool, Korn, and Still say...Glen Campbell was one in a million. I love many songs of his, but "Try a little Kindness" is one that for me really resonates today. I wish we all would try a little more kindness. RIP Glen Campbell. Rock on Alice Cooper. And let us all be cool to each other eh? Be cool like a Rhinestone badass, with a side of kindness and a kickass hat. Much love my friends.

The best concert I ever attended was Alice at the Richmond Coliseum about 1975. A tremendous rainstorm kept people away; there were fewer than 500 people. They could have said "The hell with it" and walked off but they gave a show as if there were 100,000 attendees. Respect for the audience; respect for the artists.

I see Alice is getting so emotional talking about Glen my grandfather had Alzeimers it so heartbreaking

[@lonewave1]

First of all this is one of the better interviews of a celebrity I've ever seen. Why? Because it's the human side of the act. Everyone knows about Alice Cooper and the act when you go see him. This is a strong reminder to all of us that he is a human being just like you and me and he just wanted to share with others that human side also of him and Glen Campbell. It's sad that Glen Campbell passed away and unfortunately with the Alzheimers being the driving force. Alice Cooper strips off all of the act to explain what it was like to be with Glen Campbell as a friend and human being. And yes, who in the world could've imagine that these two guys were such good friends? We somehow can't imagine that these guys are just entertainers and it's just an act that they do that helps pay the bills and raise their families with. This is an honest interview and my appreciation to Alice Cooper for giving us the human side of himself and Glen Campbell. Gonna miss Glen. A true talent now gone but never forgotten. Thanks Alice.

He is, according to the beliefs of many, in a place of perfect Peace and perfect Love. While those who do not believe can simply know this post does not pertain to them-you, it is no one's place to put down the beliefs of others...since you asked.

Glen Campbell went to my dad's car wash on 40th and Camelback in the 80's and my dad said that Glenn was gracious and he always had a kind word for my dad.
