“I was so offended, as I sat for three hours…”

This week we review Alice Cooper’s 22nd album “Dragontown”.  Dragontown is the worst place on “Brutal Planet” and continues (and ends) Alice’s brief foray into a much more industrial sound.  This album starts VERY strong, but fades a bit in our opinion in its second half.

And since we both love the song “Sex, Death and Money”, I wanted to include something on it… and I found this treasure.
