Hey Stoopid Album Review
(Entertainment Weekly - July 19, 1991)
At this point, the thought of a new Alice Cooper album is both admirable and pathetic, just like the idea of a 45-year-old man playing the role of decadent, mascara-streaked rock star. But give Alice credit: He knows that it's ridiculous too and that rather...
