Alice Cooper, Golf Monster: A Rock 'n' Roller's 12 Steps to Becoming a Golf Addict by Alice Cooper

3.0

The Father of Shock Rock shares tidbits from his 40 plus years of stage experience and how golf helped save him from the alcohol that was destroying his life and music. Half memoir, half golf-tips, Monster is not terribly revealing or instructional for that matter. The good news is that none of that matters because the stories are so entertaining. Alice finally gets to the bottom of the whole live chicken incident and is rather frank about his conversion to Christianity and his decision to continue his stage-show rather than enter the Christian music arena. Full of stories and insights into his fellow rock and roll contemporaries, Golf Monster is certainly entertaining. Pop-culture enthusiasts will revel in the anecdotes of his many friends, both here and gone, including Jim Morrison, Groucho Marx, Fred Astaire, Salvidor Dali, John Lennon, Elvis and many, many more. By the end of the book, the reader will feel two steps closer to being able to call Alice "Vince," a name reserved for friends.
