ALICE COOPER's Scary Daddy Moment

June 19, 2009

The Pulse of Radio reports: Alice Cooper has made a career out of being scary on stage, but he's also experienced a moment or two of fear as a father. Alice, who has three grown children, reminisced to The Pulse of Radio about the time he caught his then-teenage daughter, Calico, in her bedroom with a boy. "And there's this really good-looking guy sitting on her bed and she's taking a shower," he said. "I look at the guy and he knows that I'm gonna... and he goes 'Oh hello Mr. Cooper! Cali and I were just trying on clothes.' And I went 'either this guy is really good or he's really gay. I hope that you're really gay because if you're that quick in order to become gay, getting caught in my daughter's bedroom' and Calico looked at me and she says 'no, we were trying on dresses.' And he was gay and it was a relief to me!"

Alice said that since he's the original rebel, there was nothing his kids could do to top him. "There was no way to rebel because what are they going to do, dye their hair black and wear black lipstick?" he said. "I invented that, remember? My daughter put it perfectly in her yearbook. She said, 'I couldn't really rebel because my mom and dad were cooler than my friends.'"

Of course, having Alice Cooper for a father does have its advantages. "They got to do things other kids didn't get to do," he said. "They were backstage going 'where'sUncle Axl? Where's Uncle Slash?' They knew all the rock stars as 'Uncle' this or 'Uncle' that. 'Where's Uncle Keith? Crazy Uncle Moonie?'"

Alice's three children are Calico, 28; Dashiel, 25, and his teenage daughter Sonora Rose. All of his children have performed in his shows.

Alice is currently on tour in Russia.
