ALICE COOPER Interviewed At 'Bob Hope Classic'; Audio Available

January 25, 2011

Tyler Russell of the 93.7 KCLB Rocks radio station in Palm Springs, California conducted a short interview with Alice Cooper as the legendary rocker took part in the Bob Hope Classic golf tournament January 17-23. Alice talked about the movie "Black Swan", his tour plans, and how he wants to play the Coachella festival. You can now listen to the chat using the audio player below.

"It was Disneyland if you lived in Detroit and you're looking at that. You just can't believe it exists," Cooper told Southland Golf. "But then when you move out there, I never thought I would ever be playing in the Bob Hope Classic."

He continued, "I remember one instance at Bob Hope's house. He was having a birthday party for Steve Allen, and every major comedian was there — and me. I stuck out like a sore thumb because I had hair down to here and smeared makeup and someone says, 'Hey, Bob wants to see you.' So I go in there and there's Bob Hope, Gerald Ford, Johnny Carson — all the giants of comedy. And Bob says, 'I'm pushing my drive to the right a little bit.' I told him, 'Well, relax your right hand.' And that's all we talked about. And I realized that when I walked away it was Bob Hope, the President, and we never once spoke about anything except how to get your right hand square. That just shows you what golf is. It cuts through anybody's job, anybody's political stance — anything."
