Alice Cooper -- School's Out

Denis, I decided you were right about Alice Cooper, but I had to go with School's Out. I do agree with you that I'm Eighteen is an awesome song, but it was such a guy song that I never quite connected to it the way I did with School's Out.

But thanks for sending me off to YouTube to lose another two hours watching Alice Cooper videos...

I have always loved his sense of humor and I always especially loved this lyric in School's Out:

We've got no class
And we've got no principles
And we've got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

Alice Cooper turned 60 in February, but I guess we're all getting older. Despite his age, he looks pretty much exactly the same way now that he did in 1971. He never was a pretty man.

I told Scott today that rather than thinking of myself as getting older, I prefer to think of myself as "vintage".

Scott said he's now considering himself to be "heirloom".

Literary Quote

It is worth mentioning, for future reference, that the creative power which bubbles so pleasantly in beginning a new book quiets down after a time, and one goes on more steadily. Doubts creep in. Then one becomes resigned. Determination not to give in, and the sense of an impending shape keep one at it more than anything.
