Alice Cooper talks decades of sobriety and Christianity: 'Straight out of bed, make a cup of coffee, grab my Bible'

Shock rocker Alice Cooper — born Vincent Damon Furnier — has opened up about his life at 74 years old, which now involves Bible-reading, praying, and volunteering.

For a recent interview in the U.K.'s Times, the Detroit, Michigan, native said that God is the figurehead of his life and at the very center of everything he does.

"I’m up before the sun; 5 a.m. is my time," he told the outlet. "Straight out of bed, make a cup of coffee, grab my Bible, then spend the next hour reading and praying. I read a couple of chapters a day — this is my 12th reading. It puts me in a positive frame of mind."

He added that his wife, Sheryl Goddard, has been instrumental in his 39 years of sobriety.

"Thanks to Sheryl — she committed me to an asylum for treatment — this is my 39th year sober," he said, and went on to detail the indulgences of his younger years — a time of heavy partying with the likes of Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, and more. ........

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Vincent has lived in the Phoenix area for many years, is considered a "good guy" and loves baseball.  D-Backs, of course.  He had a baseball themed bar in the shadow of Chase Field called "Cooperstown."
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16

You definitely can't judge a book by his cover.  To look at him, you would think he is evil.  But he puts on a fantastic performance and I've heard/read several stories about what a really nice man he is.

Anyone that loves baseball can't be all that bad. :shrug:

He's a horror showman. But deep down, he never had the truly heinous, twisted mind to be truly threatening. He was a guy who got tangled up in drugs and alcohol and found his redemption... like so many have. The late Johnny Cash, for another example.
