Everybody loved Alice Cooper when they thought he was an alcoholic drug-addicted necrophiliac homicidal Devil worshiping Commie pervert. But once they found out he was just Vincent Furnier, a nice Christian boy who loved his Mom and Dad, a good round of golf, hanging out with Groucho Marx, and a quiet night at home with the wife and kids - WHAT A CREEP! But, hey - At least he really was an alcoholic.

"We would walk over the names of Vincent Price, Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, never, ever thinking that our names would ever be on the Walk of Fame," Cooper said. "That is really quite a privilege to be here."
