Terry brought some great insight and humor to what could have been an EXTREMELY short review otherwise.  We hope to have him back!

Squat Cobbler 34: Alice Cooper – Constrictor (review)

SMLTBCBPB (Song most likely to be covered by Pat Boone):  I Love America DaDa ended up at #8 on Mike’s list and #9 … Continue reading

Squat Cobbler 30: Alice Cooper – Zipper Catches Skin (review)

The album features Zorro, Scrooge, dead pets returning to save their master and an “On Golden Pond” reference.  So, you probably get the idea this is a tad different than other outings by Mr. Cooper.

Squat Cobbler 28: Alice Cooper – Special Forces (review)

That said, check out You’re a Movie, Skeletons In My Closet, and Who Do You Think We Are… fun songs! There was a tour to support this album (which Kelly saw) and here is pretty complete documentation of it … Continue reading

Audio is a little rough on this one gang.  There were a lot of Google Hangout issues and Mike ended up doing the show from his phone.  Sorry about that.  Way to phone it in Mike.
