-looks really good for his age

-comes across in interviews as possibly being as smart as he's portrayed in Wayne's World

-reminds me of Henry Winkler, for some reason

He seems to be a genuinely nice guy. He lives here in Scottsdale and does a lot of charity work for children's organizations and such, plus is always appearing around town for various functions, and also does goofy ads for some car dealership (along the same lines, Leslie Neilsen also lives here and does some fairly funny ads for a local credit union.) I just wish I could stand his music so I could support him.

Yeah, he seems like a really cool, nice guy. I wouldn't mind reading an autobiography. But the only songs I know are "I'm Eighteen" and "School's Out" and that doesn't make me hopeful for the rest of his work.

Radcliffe may be posting a mix of some early Alice Cooper sometime soon. Those who only know him from 'School's Out' ought to check it out.

This early work is brilliant. The first four-five 'proper*' albums are as good as just about any other rock album that decade.

*By 'proper' I mean Bob Ezrin produced.

Tivo'ed his performance on the Late Late show last night. The last 30 times I saw him on TV were all celebrity golf tournaments. Good to have him back.
