And for what it's worth, I THINK ALICE IS ONE OF THE BEST LOOKING ROCKSTARS I HAVE EVER SEEN. HE HAS AMAZING BLUE EYES, AND A FACE THAT LOOKS AS THOUGH IT WAS CHISELED BY PICASSO.

THANK YOU

Love,love, love Alice Cooper! Read his book Golf Monster. As a Christian I could see the hand of God throughout the book, even during his addiction. He has been married and faithful to his wife for a long time. I would love to hang out with him and his family. :)

if those clear blue eyes appear as one of a druggie, i beg to differ. 26 years is wonderful, I also have been clean that long and its a hard battle everyday, way to go Alice !!! but remember no matter how many years, today is the only one that counts

dumbasses alice is one of the greatest music influences of modern day music who cares what he looks like and lets nor forget he had a career focused on being horrifying and ugly its awesome that he has remained sober in a business filled with drugs and alcohol god bless him

This man is being honored for 26 years of sobriety, he's been working successfully in this business for over 40 years, is a successfull family man, business man, active member of his community and contributer to charitable causes. When's the last time you heard or read a negative report about Alice Cooper? And the only thing some of you can think of to say is to make negative comments on his looks? May God grant YOU the opportunity to live the life he's lived, turn it around as he has and have that be the only negative. However, I would think something along the lines of, "Congratulations, Alice! The award and success is well deserved" is much more appropriate considering the contributions the man has made to the music world.

Alice Cooper is a rock genius with his showmanship. It doesn't matter what he looks like. He cleaned up his life. That's more than you can say about Lindsey, Paris and all those other messes on the streets.

I'd like to know why he isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Long before there was Marilyn Manson, Motley Crue and Kiss, there was Alice. Another thing, beside the fact that he and the band recorded some classic songs, he also recorded what could be the first "power ballad" "Only Women Bleed".That was agood 10 - 15 years before all the "Hair Bands" were doing them.
