How cool is this?
I would like to think his golfing had something to do with this. The game teaches discipline, sportsmanship, humility, and good manners.
AFP: Shock-rocker Alice Cooper to build Christian youth center
Shock-rock grandaddy Alice Cooper, best known for his macabre stage antics and songs about hell and booze, is helping build a Christian youth center in Arizona, his foundation announced here.
Cooper's Solid Rock Foundation is to develop a three million dollar center for teenagers at Grand Canyon University, a non-denominational Christian center of higher learning in Phoenix, according to a statement by the foundation, a Christian nonprofit group.
The 20,000-square-foot (1,858 square meter) project, nicknamed "The Rock," will offer after-school programs and special events for area youth.
The site "is designed to provide a safe and fun place for area teens to gather and participate in program activities that will make a difference in their lives," the statement read.
The foundation's "primary goal is to honor Christ by helping to meet the spiritual, economical, physical, and social needs of teenagers and children within our community," a statement from the foundation website read.
Cooper, 58, is one of the godfathers of American hard rock. His stage acts, often inspired by horror movies, included using outlandish makeup, liters of fake blood, and often a live boa constrictor.
Born Vincent Furnier, Cooper is married, a father, and also an avid golfer and a great admirer of Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue.
What red-blooded man doesn't worship the ground upon which Kylie Minogue walks? (Coming soon to The King Abdullah Gazette!)
