Per your comment on another thread.
The late R.C. Sproul is a giant among modern theologians.
I saw all three VH singers in concert.
I thought they were all good.
All different.
And Pro Life. Wow.
New respect.
Praise be to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who can save those people may think irredeemably lost. And me.
I miss Sproul
Alice Cooper was a close neighbor/friend and frequent golfing partner with the late, great Glen Campbell, another born again Christian.
It was predestined.
It turns out that there is an affinity of two of the biggest metal bands of all time to R.C. Sproul.
Not only that, but ..... an Amillenial metal band.
(I know nothing about them but what's on this page.)
And yes, I knew about the RC — Alice Cooper connection.
Kewl story, thanks for posting it.
I’m just here waiting for the pharisees who think Alice isn’t Christian enough.
Sammy and his son Aaron are great guys! They took us all to dinner prior to a meeting for a tv show I was producing; if anything, I should have bought dinner. Very generous, smart, and down to earth happy people. (I should share my “Michael Anthony hot sauce” story where Hagar accidently set me up for unbearable pain a year later....)
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

**************************************************
The pharisees wouldn’t understand that Alice is among the elect.
Alice is a faith-in-Christ’s sacrifice guy.
He knows that’s his only chance, just like the rest of us.
Hardly news.
Cooper is a golfer? Who knew? I mean I only saw him in a pro-celeb tournament more than 40 years ago. I watched him put away a case of tall boys in 18 holes.
He met wife Cheryl while she was a dancer in his Welcome To My Nightmare road show. Cheryl was one of two women dancers the band nicknamed “the Cherry sisters” on account of them seemingly bound and determined to cling to their virginity until old age. Back his bandmates called him “Vinnie the Boss,” a send-up of his given name, Vincent Damon Fernier, long before anyone referred to that Jersey idiot as “the Boss.”
Alice’s stunt gaffer in the Welcome To My Nightmare show was none other than The Amazing Randi, professional skeptic and magician. Randi designed and built the guillotine Alice used in the show so he hired Randi to tour with the band and even play the role of the executioner in the show. He sort of went unnoticed because he wasn’t well known back then but if you saw the Welcome To My Nightmare show, you saw The Amazing Randi cut off Alice Cooper’s head (and Alice’s future wife dancing).
