Alice Cooper's Instagram on the passing of David Bowie

the complete Instagram by Alice reads:

realalicecooper It's hard to know exactly what to say when you hear of someone's passing. 

I know that I have certainly lost one of my life-time Rock and Roll theatrical comrades in

 #DavidBowie. We both started in theatrical Rock N Roll at the same time, and in some cases 

we challenged each other to go farther and push the envelope.

The loss of David Bowie will be hard to swallow for everyone. He leaves behind a rich history 

of musical and cultural experimentation and invention that will rarely be seen again, if ever.

He was one of a kind. The man that fell to Earth has gone back to the planet that he came from.

Condolences to his family and fans.

The Lair of the Vampires, excerpt from Alice Cooper Golf Monster

The Lair of the Vampires 

The Lair of the Vampires (pages 136 - 137)

The Rainbow was an ultracool nightclub, and we were notorious

patrons. At the time, we all were very functional. The membership included

only household entertainment names. John Belushi was a member. Jack

Nicholson would show up every once in a while. Anyone who was playing

Los Angeles became an Honorary Vampire. We even had a softball team.

I remember Bruce Springsteen was invited up one night. It was when

the press had billed him as the “New Dylan.”

“Sit down, Bruce,” I told him. “I’ve got to talk to you about something

important.‘ Bruce was wearing cowboy boots. Bernie Taupin, who was a

Vampire at the time, was sitting to the other side of him.

“Look, you‘re really talented,” I said. “But whatever you do, don’t let

them sell you as the next Bob Dylan. That’s suicide. You’re Bruce Springsteen,

not Bob Dylan.”

Then Bernie tapped him on the shoulder. “Bruce, I’ve got to tell you

something.” Bernie started talking to Bruce. While his attention was on

Bernie, I poured my drink into his cowboy boot.

After Bernie, I got his attention back. Bruce would turn to me, and

Bernie would pour his drink into Bruce’s other boot. By the end of the

night, the poor guy was sloshing around. The whole room was in hysterics.

Bernie and I were the best of friends. Inseparable. Looking back, it was

some of the most fun times of my life. It was also right before thing started

caving in. A lot of those guys eventually died. Harry Nilsson. Keith Moon.

John Belushi. I guess I was one of the few survivors out of that bunch. You

can’t drink like that and not know that at some point it’s going to catch up

with you. VO Canadian Club and Coke. That’s all I drank as a Vampire.

Beer during the day, whiskey at night. 

We had our very own waitress, a blond gum chewer named Schottzie.

Schottzie was great because she took care of us and never took any crap.

“Harry, you’ve had enough.”

“John, you’re out of line.”

“Alice, you haven’t had anything all night. What’s your problem?”

“I’m on penicillin.”

Schottzie was like our mother and the perfect waitress. We listened to

her when she’d lay down the law and grab our car keys. I would find a ride

out front, then I’d slip her a hundred dollars.

Ringo, Moon, Cooper

I look back at my drinking club days as another life long ago. They were

great times, but they were also the lost years. But it’s funny, the Vampires

were all extremely productive during that time. Harry Nilsson was cutting

his Nilsson Schmilsson records. Jack Nicholson was making great movies.

Bernie was writing hits with Elton John. Belushi was a Blues Brother and a

cast member on Saturday Night Live. We were all riding a huge wave of

celebrity. I could go anywhere in the world and people would recognize me.

We felt immortal. Yet in the back of our minds, we knew we couldn’t live

like that forever. It could end at any time, so we’d better party hard and live

each night like it was our last. And for some of us, it was.
