Alice Cooper on the Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder, 1981 full interview
Alice Cooper was discussing his performances and how they often sound bizarre to others. “When I read about the things people say you’ve done on stage, they seem bizarre to someone like me,” Tom said. “I sit here with a glass of water and talk to people, that’s the extent of what happens on this show.”
Alice chuckled, responding, “What I focus on is more of a ‘bazaar of the mind’ than a physical spectacle.” When asked about the strangest illusion or effect he’d ever done on stage, Alice paused. “That’s hard to say. A lot of it is imagined by the audience. It’s a surrealist approach—what they think they see is often more powerful than what actually happens.”
Tom brought up an old rumor, “Like when they said you killed a chicken on stage.”
Alice laughed, “Exactly. I didn’t actually kill the chicken, but 90 percent of what people think they know about me is wrapped in legend and rumors.”
