Well, you all might enjoy this. This was our entry for the Alice Cooper "Keepin' Halloween Alive Cooper-oke Contest."
Spiney & the Backbones, a rock band with a lead singer who's only half there, and has an affinity for Alice, was the theme of our garage show for Halloween 2009... a concept that was actually 2 years in the making. (Yeah, we do Halloween serious.) Hope to post some of that set later on. But for now, hope you like this.

Alice's Trick or Treat Bag
Alright, bad audio and such, but fun old stuff for Halloween. Love the comment about companies not wanting him endorsing their products. Enjoy.

13th Annual Alice Pro Am Golf Tourney
Alright, just got an e-mail and thought it would be more effective to get the word out via the blog than 10 forwarded e-mails. Of course, if you know an interested golfer or 10, you should forward this to them.
Visit alicegolf.com for more info. Proceeds help benefit Solid Rock.
Greetings,
As this e-mail blast gets written, I am currently in Marksville, Louisianna getting ready for our show tonight.
We are down to the wire with only 4 weeks to go for our 13th Annual Alice Cooper Pro-AM and we are looking for a complete sell-out.
Many years ago when I was just a wee lad in grade school, I learned the power of multiplication. I ask that you forward this to 10 people. Based on the power and strength of numbers, we have set a goal of reaching 1,000,000 people within 72 hours. Here is how it will work. If you will forward this e-mail on to 10 people and ask them to forward on to 10 people who ask 10 more people, we will have reached 1,000,000 people within 72 hours.
We are looking for 20 people (or 5 foursomes) to signup in order to make this tournament a complete success. Don't you think that this is doable? Please help me and together we can have a fantastic event.
It is important to us that this event is completely sold out. If you have been waiting to register, please don't wait any longer. Do me a personal favor and sign up now to keep the momentum going.
You don't want to miss meeting and playing with some of the great names in PGA golf like Hale Irwin, Stan Utley and Ted Purdy along with 17 other PGA teaching pros. Clinics that will be taught by these professionals are unique and special to this event.
This is one of our largest fund raisers for the year and the money raised is critical for Solid Rock to continue moving forward with plans for THE ROCK Teen center.
Help me turn this snarl into a smile.
For registrations and questions please call the Solid Rock office at 602-522-9200 or toll free at 888-97ALICE.
Your pal,
Alice Cooper

Keepin' Halloween Alive
Okay, well here's something fun to download just in time for the holidays. For just $1.99 via iTunes you can have the spanking new single "Keepin' Halloween Alive" just out today.
Your hardly earned money will get you the tune, a "Cooperoke" sing along mix, and a digital book so we can all pretend we got something tangible. But the "flame retarded" book does contain some nice cover art and old school comic style ads. Alice is also mentioned as the "King of all things Halloween" (which I'd say puts him in some stiff competition with one Jack Skellington).
The book also mentions a new website, www.keepinhalloweenalive.com, which appears to simply be parked by GoDaddy at the moment. But that's awful nice of them in case they actually want to use it sometime soon.
Alice is reported as saying he likes to celebrate the October 31 event with his family in style around a spooky tree wearing matching black and orange sweaters and exchanging gifts, so he just wanted to write a song about it. I knew there was something I liked about that guy. Keepin' Halloween alive, honey 3-6-5.

Also, read more about this campaign here and here.
