Same here, Alice was my first “idol”, at 12.
I love Devo also [even more!], and I ‘m happy Mark’s recovered.
Thanks for the link!

I’ve had different boa constrictors through the years and I still have a very large boa constrictor, so I always felt a common link with Alice Cooper’s use of boa constrictors in his live shows. I have most of his albums through the 80s on vinyl. My daughter has my vinyl collection.

I love this song. It’s like a precursor to Welcome to My Nightmare, which is a brilliant album. This song is perfect for how people feel locked down and locked out, forced into the government straight jackets with the stipulations of “do as I say, not as I do”, drink the Kool-Aid, take the shots, or be put away, shamed, denied all civil rights, denied one’s livelihood. Alice Cooper really seems to understand liberty and loss of liberty.

Cooper’s hallucinations in the song reminded me of this article in the Brooklyn Vegan about Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh battle with covid: https://www.brooklynvegan.com/devos-mark-mothersbaugh-on-harrowing-covid-19-battle-time-meant-nothing/.

The album came out when I was in high school. It caused quite a stir!

Alice is where I started, as a little boy. Old loves die hard!
Thank you very much!

Gotta love Alice!
