Yep, and, like me, Alice is also a preacher's kid. I meant his on-stage persona, of course. Off stage he's just a regular guy.

Seeing ads for Jesus Christ Superstar, starring Sara Bareilles and John Legend. Alice Cooper as Herod:
So, if you are the Christ, yes the great Jesus Christ, prove to me that you're no fool...
Walk across my swimming pool"

I can't wait. :D

I was raised Catholic, and we watched Jesus Christ Superstar during one of my Religious Education meetings before I was confirmed. I really enjoyed it, but I love music so that helps.

I'm not really religious anymore, but I do miss the music sometimes.

It'd be tough to leave the support system you have in CR but it never hurts to look for opportunities.

Yeah it was a tough decision but I worded the response in a way that hopefully didn't blackball me. Basically explained that my wife has had some nagging health issues that have flared up in the last couple of weeks since I applied and we are not sure we would be up for a move in the near term.

Edit: None of that is lying...been an expensive few weeks.

I was born and raised in a small town just outside Milwaukee, called Oconomowoc. Ojibwa word for "where waters meet".
Minneapolis takes the Minne from Dakota and the apolis from Greek to make City of Waters. However the City's official nickname is City of Lakes. Minnehaha means waterfall in Dakota so Minnehaha Falls is Waterfall Falls - direct to you from the Department of Repetitive Redundancy Department.

Alice Cooper has been married for 42 years and claims he has never cheated on his wife and she isn't his sister. She was the ballerina that he used to beat up when singing Only Women Bleed.
The last time I saw him perform it was his daughter that he beat up during that song.
I've read he's a pretty stand-up normal guy when he's off the stage.

I read some where some young musician was meeting Alice Cooper for the first time. Alice walks up and says something like "Whose up for a round of golf?" Said that was not what he expected.

At some point i need to learn how to pronounce the new name for Lake Calhoun. Or just risk being ostracized and keep calling it Calhoun. Leaning towards being ostracized.

I know what you mean.

"Bde Maka Ska (pronounced “be-DAY mah-kah skah”), which means White Earth Lake."

I wonder what Phillip Henry Elwood did wrong to lose the Ames drive named after him. He was a founder of your program at ISU.
