There Are Worse Things I Could Do



Stockard Channing in Grease!, (1978).

Not the best musical ever, in fact this was one of the few tracks that didn't make me want to puncture my eardrums, but I decided I would post all the musicals I played in the pit for and Grease! was my second. I actually had an acting part too, but there are no good videos of "Born to Hand Jive" on the youtube.

School's Out



Alice Cooper & the Muppets gang on the Muppet Show (1978) The Muppet Show introduced me to Alice Cooper & insured his status as cool in my book. This is a great argument for sitting on the fence between shock & show business, Alice Cooper keeps it all just nice enough to be able to go on a show that has a 50% kids audience like the Muppet Show, but is also creepy & rock & roll enough to be cool. You couldn't say that about someone like Marilyn Manson who just goes too far, even though he's probably more commercial than Alice Cooper was (weird!).
