Alice Cooper has a radio show?

Wayne Campbell: So, do you come to Milwaukee often?
Alice Cooper: Well, I'm a regular visitor here, but Milwaukee has certainly had its share of visitors. The French missionaries and explorers began visiting here in the late 16th century.
Pete: Hey, isn't "Milwaukee" an Indian name?
Alice Cooper: Yes, Pete, it is. In fact , it's pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "the good land."
Wayne Campbell: I was not aware of that.

This is a favorite quote of mine and others from the movie Wayne’s World. It happens after a concert that Wayne and Garth drove up from a suburb of Chicago to Milwaukee for. They had back stage passes and got to meet the band. Because of this scene in the movie I always think of Alice Cooper when I think of Milwaukee. So it was incredibly amusing the other night when, while I was driving to the hotel, I heard his voice while I scanned the radio channels in town (Milwaukee). At first I figured it was just a Wayne’s World quote or an interview so I stopped flipping channels and listened in.

It wasn’t an interview though. It was a radio show. Apparently Alice Cooper has a syndicated radio show that he does on a nightly basis. He is actually a very articulate fellow and a pretty good DJ. His show is nothing crazy or over the top, just a selection of hard rock music from the 70s and 80s mostly. He also interviews bands from time to time just like any other show. I find this really funny because not to long ago he would have been the person being interviewed. The most surreal part of listening to him on the radio is when he starts quoting facts. Serious facts about the music industry or history of some bad, normally talks about these as strait reference as if he wasn’t in the think of it for years. Like a professor in college talking about events out of a book - very matter of factly and very-very similar to the joke being made on Wayne’s World. I guess the joke wasn’t as much of a stretch from reality in this case.

I just keeping waiting for the next lesson about "mill-e-wah-que" every night as I drive!
