Alice Cooper, Billion Dollar Babies. 40th Anniversary Retrospective.

As his persona and as the leader of the American shock rock band Alice Cooper, the man named Vincent Furnier at birth must have appeared to some as the devil incarnate, the man who was leading the nations younger music lovers astray with the bands songs which suggested and spoke of subjects such as necrophilia, political instability and shocking church groups. Looking back with 40 years of hindsight, Alice Cooper’s sixth studio album, Billion Dollar Babies, it is nothing more than sensational and shows the leader of this much talked of group as nothing more than perhaps the ultimate music showman, the Barnum of the staged three ring rock circus.
