1998, Michael Bruce Fan Club

The following are photocopy pages from JDI Torn Ticket Productions 

that I believe was the manager of Michael Bruce at that time.

In 1998 my first introduction to Michael Bruce Fan Club

consist of the follow photocopy letters.

Don't know if any of these items are available now.

Most likely you can find someone selling them.

1986, Nightmare Returns Tour Book

1986, The Nightmare Return Tour Book was Alice's return again. This time sober w/ a new band and new Rambo guitarist Kane Roberts. Alice kicks off this tour w/ his new album Constrictor. This was the time when Alice's show was known as Splatter Rock.
What I find strange is some of the photographs of Alice go back to his early days from '72.

2011, RnR Hall of Fame inducted

Since I just heard today that RnR Hall of Fame announced Rush and Deep Purple among them as list of potential members this reminds me of Alice Cooper being inducted last year.
I hope both of these bands get in since they've been around longer than some of the others listed this year. Plus it's called Rock and Roll Hame of Fame emphasis on "Rock and Roll."

1976, Teen Beat, Breakfast of Champions

I do remember Alice talking about being in the new Robert Altman film "Breakfast of Champions" based on Kurt Vonnegut's novel. Unfortunately for some reason the film never came to fruition.

From IMDB.com the 1976 cast considered was as followed...
"After the success of Robert Altman's Nashville, Vonnegut's novel was bought by producer Dino De Laurentiis for Altman. Altman's cast for the film included Peter Falk as Hoover, Alice Cooper as his son Bunny, Sterling Hayden as Kilgore Trout and Ruth Gordon as Eliot Rosewater (as Rosewater was to be portrayed as an old man, Altman thought it didn't matter that Gordon was a woman as he believed gender differences were not as strong in the elderly."

Much later this film came out in 1999 w/ a whole new cast.
Alice's part was now given to Lukas Haas as son George "Bunny" Hoover,
Bruce Willis as Hoover, Albert Finney as Kilgore Trout, Ken Hudson Campbell as Eliot Rosewater.

2001, Boston Phoenix

2001, October 26th
Since getting close to Halloween and Alice Cooper coming to Boston this newspaper had 3 Alice Cooper related articles.

On the front section of Boston Phoenix I spotted this Alice picture on a bed's headboard. Come to find out there was a "Bedroom" installation showing. Then I notice the model on the cover "The Countess" who is also a performance artist as well as an illustrator. I knew Cynthia from art school we shared a number of classes. Of course that wasn't her last name at the time. Cynthia is a great Illustrator that had her work published in many popular magazines such as Rolling Stone. If you do a search you can find a number of her paintings. Anyway I thought of this being a little funny at the time.

This next article talks about "Dragontown" and Alice performing 

at the Orpheum Theatre the next week.

Last article talks about things to do around town this (2001) Halloween night.
