News Report: Alice & Salvador Dali
(Time, 1973-04-16)
Singer Alice Cooper is the head ghoul of Grand Guignol rock. Painter Salvador Dali is the grand Dada of shock work art. What could be more fitting than that Salvador should paint Alice? Or that Alice should pose wearing a million dollars' worth of borrowed jewels and surrounded by a coffee eclair, ants and a soft watch?...
Schlock Rock's Godzilla
(Time, 1973-05-28)
By any musical standard, the Alice Cooper rock group is more shouting than something to shout about. Yet the teeny-boppers cannot seem to get enough these days of Alice Cooper (the name of both the leader and the group). The group's current twelve-week U.S. tour will probably gross more than $4.5 million before it winds up next weekend in New York's Madison Square Garden. ...
Cooper In A Reflective Moment
(Time, 1975-04-07)
"I am not going to allow a degenerate who could powerfully influence the young and weak-minded to enter this country and stage this sort of exhibition here." declared Australian Labor and Immigration Minister Clyde Cameron after banning a tour Down Under by eye-shadowed Vaude-Rocker Alice Cooper. "Isn't it crazy?" said Alice. "People still think I kill chickens onstage." Now on a 65-city tour through the U.S., Europe and Japan with his new act, Welcome To My Nightmare, Cooper vows to press on to Australia in September....
Alice Cooper Cleans Up His Act
(Time, 1975-08-25)
Sometimes there's more to Vaude-Rocker Alice Cooper than meets the eye shadow. After a three-week Hawaiian vacation. Cooper came to New York last week and was . . . well, swept up in a city cleanup campaign. Joining some 300 volunteers, the rock star spent a couple of hours clearing away the garabage in one of Manhattan's parks. "I'm an old sentimentalist about New York." explained Cooper. That may be just as well. While the singer was away from home, his new $150,000 house in West Los Angeles burned to the ground....
News Report
(Time, 1976-03-29)
MARRIED: Alice Cooper, 28, decadent rock's man with a woman's name, and Sheryl Goddard, 19, singer and dancer who appeared in Cooper's "Welcome To My Nightmare" show; in a civil ceremony in Acapulco, Mexicon, March 20.

News Report
(Time, 1977-06-27)
Some might consider Rock Star Alice Cooper to be oral rot personified. Little do they know. Having dabbled with pythons and hanging by the neck, the hairy exponent of amplified Grand Guignol is rooting for pearly whiteness v. yucky blackness on his latest road tour, beginning this week....
Alice With Muppets: More shock rock
(Time, 1979-09-00)
Fit and well after three months in a New York sanitarium drying out his thirst for beer, Alice Cooper set out to prove that he was still the grand Dada of shock rock. When Cooper's appearance on TV's "Muppet Show" is broadcast next season, his fans will find that his singing still makes the blood run cold. Cooper has also designed a grisly new road show and a macabre LP titled "From The Inside" - the story of his detoxification. Promises Alice, "It will be the musical version of 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'." ...
