Alice Cooper: Alice Cooperstown

Located in Phoenix, Arizona, and owned by "Shock Rocker," Alice Cooper, Cooperstown is the best place where "where jocks and rock (music) meet." It is a casual bar and eatery that focuses not only sports, but also the best in popular music. Some of the favorite menu items at Cooperstown include the Stevie Nicks Gardenburger, Lady Gaga's Hot Links and Devo's Big City Sliders.

[Excerpt from an article about the Israeli Presidential Conference]

The day before I flew to Tel Aviv I tried to comfort myself by writing a Stevie Nicks quote in my journal: “I don’t feel alone. I feel very unalone. I feel very sparkly and excited about everything.” While I didn’t share those sentiments at the time, I knew what I needed to feel excited about the next chapter in my life. I needed a sense of connection to community. I needed to make new friends. I needed intellectual growth. Ultimately, I wanted proof that I could navigate foreign places on my own. I’ll be moving to Medellin, Colombia, in a month and having this proof would provide a much needed confidence boost. I thought spending time in Israel could help. So what did I find?

The real question is 'what do Israel and Columbia have in common?'

Stevie Nicks Gardenburger,

Isn't it odd that, as many times as Stevie has been photographed or seen at steakhouses around the country, she would have a "meatless" vegie burger named for her?

Saw an article on the Dolly Parton news site (feel free to make fun I do indeed check the Dolly news every week, lol), Billboard made some 4th of July slideshow on which people best represent each state. (Dolly of course, was Tennessee). I scrolled through out of curiosity and sure enough, Stevie represented Arizona.

Musician Stevie Nicks -- back in the seventies it was conventional to pretend that the others were the talent and she was just the pretty face. Wrong. She was the talent AND the pretty face.

[This is an old blog post by Joanna Pasceri about visiting the Hall of Fame]

http://www.wkbw.com/news/blogs/pasce...-99432379.html

Unlike some of those big network news personalities, I did not vacation in South Africa and take in a World Cup game.

Nope, in my world, I was lucky to get to the other side of Lake Erie! My family spent a night in Cleveland during my recent time off, and guess what? We had a great time! The highlight by far was our trip to the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. What a place! First of all, did you know from the air, you can see it's shaped like a turntable? That insight came courtesy of former Channel 7 Morning Anchor John Kosich, who works at the Cleveland ABC affiliate now and used to do reports from the station helicopter.
It's really cool! Our visit just happened to coincide with the year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death. As we walked in, a tribute was taking place in the lobby for the King of Pop. Some really talented singers were belting out some of his famous hits. We all got "I love MJ" pins, too!

There is so much to take in at the Hall of Fame. Six floors wind around the inside of the building (part of the turntable effect), and they are filled with all kinds of memorabilia from rock's legends. On display are clothes worn by Mick Jagger (he is so tiny), Stevie Nicks (she was so tiny), Freddie Mercury, and The Beatles. I even saw the black ballet pointe shoes that Stevie Nicks wore on the cover of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album! There is a piece of Otis Redding's airplane that crashed and killed the soul singer. There is John Lennon's piano, complete with candle wax drippings! There is a whole floor dedicated to The Boss, Bruce Springsteen!
We saw the leather jacket he wore on the Born to Run album and his 1994 Oscar for "Streets of Philadelphia" (It was a little rusty believe it or not!!!). There are also his Grammy awards, plus a lot of his songwriting notes. There are notepads filled with famous lyrics, including for the song, Glory Days! If you appreciate music as much as my family does, it's a great place to see. Not quite the World Cup, but still a winner to me!

From an interview with Gordon Lightfoot

http://www.pressconnects.com/article...nclick_check=1

Over his long career, Lightfoot been mentioned as a favorite songwriter of Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and Jimmy Buffett, and his tunes have been covered by dozens of other musicians. He’s been nominated for five Grammys and won 16 Juno Awards (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys). Still, he said he was surprised by his induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame last June.

“When the day finally came, I was on tour, so we had to get into New York to get it done and it was quite thrilling. We got to meet Kenny Rogers and Stevie Nicks, we had Meat Loaf and Bob Seeger and Ben E. King — they all performed, and I performed. I met a whole bunch of great people,” Lightfoot said. “It’s a real honor to be inducted into that society.”

At first I thought he might be describing what the Hall served for dinner to the guests.

What an obscure find. I want to thank you because this is not the first time you have managed to present us something that most people would never have found. I thank you.
