Wretched excess, rock stardom, and golf–from the man who invented shock rock In this tell-all memoir, Alice Cooper speaks candidly about his life and career, including all the years of rock n roll history he s been a part of, the addictions he faced, and the surprising ways he found redemption. From a childhood spent as a minister s son worshiping baseball and rock n roll; to days on the road with his band, working to make a name for themselves; to stardom and the insanity that came with it, including a quart-of-whiskey-a-day habit; to drying out at a sanitarium back in the late 70s, Alice Cooper paints a rich and rockin portrait of his life and his battle against addiction–fought by getting up daily at 7 a.m. to play 36 holes of golf. Alice tells hilarious, touching, and sometimes astounding stories about Led Zeppelin and the Doors, George Burns and Groucho Marx, John Daly and Tiger Woods . . . everyone is here from Dalí to Elvis to Arnold Palmer. Alice Cooper, Golf Monster is the incredible story of someone who rose through the rock n roll ranks releasing platinum albums and selling out arenas with his legendary act–all while becoming one of the best celebrity golfers around.
