This Day in History: Shock Rock singer Alice Cooper was born on this day in 1947. I remember watching TV back in 1975 where they were asking all of these kids what their favorite rock act was, and the answer was either Elton John or Alice Cooper. They claim that he came up with the name Alice Cooper via a Ouija Board, but this has been debunked. The son of a Mormon apostle, Cooper has English, Huguenot French, Irish, Scottish, and Sioux ancestry, and dated Raquel Welch for a while back in the 80's. He is a Christian, a Republican and an avid golf player who's played with Donald Trump. Most my age will recall that the first time they ever saw Alice Cooper was on the Muppet Show in the 1970's singing Welcome to My Nightmare.
