‘Alice Cooper Court’ Coming Thursday
“Alice Cooper’s stage show features guillotines, live snakes and a strait jacket,” said Scott Jameson, Beasley VP of National Content and Director of Detroit Programming. “So, it’s only fitting we honor him with a landmark on the grounds of a century-old Detroit area sanitarium. Some things just write themselves.”
To commemorate the dedication, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland is adding an official “Alice Cooper Court” street sign to its “Legends of Rock” exhibit, which features a new Alice Cooper display opening tomorrow, which also includes’ Alice’s original electric chair stage prop, and tour costumes. “Rock and roll is as much about the spectacle and visual as it is the sonic, and Alice Cooper spawned a new generation of rock and roll with both,” said Nwaka Onwusa, Chief Curator & VP of Curatorial Affairs, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “We are thrilled to add the official street sign to our exhibit as we celebrate Alice Cooper’s legacy with fans and share stories behind the music he created.”
