One of the first concerts that I ever went to was Canned Heat and some girl I had never heard of named Alice. I'm also a PK (preacher's kid) and when Alice hit the stage with a top hat and twirling a cane, I immediately made my way to the front row. I am a musician myself but what I saw "The Coop" do that day, totally changed my mind about what is and is not real rock 'n' roll. It was never just a spectator sport for me ever again.
Wild Woman 1313, I believe that I've read some of your stuff before in other places but you did a great job on Alice and I thank you. The last article that I read on this subject didn't even mention that he was a PK! I think that's a big part of why I feal like a "kindred spirit" to him. Well, that and the fact that I was born in Detroit and became a hard core alcoholic, too! We Wolverines can be very vicious!
