Awesome / Alice Cooper

• His cameo in Wayne's World. "We’re not worthy".
• His guest appearance on The Muppet Show was one Awesome after another, especially since he enjoyed camping it up, Alice-style in the Halloween Episode.
• His story about quitting drugs is pretty awesome: he was alone in a Hollywood mansion with a giant rock of cocaine and a loaded handgun, having successfully alienated all of his friends and collaborators. Anyone else would have ended it there, but Cooper still had enough presence of mind to realize he was destroying everything he'd worked for. He flushed the cocaine down the toilet, tossed the bullets from the gun, slept for four days, and started putting his life back together.
• His live shows are an experience all on their own, but special mentions deserve to go to "He's Back (The Man Behind the Mask)" the theme from Friday the 13th, Part VI. While the original was full of 80s synthesizers, live is pure hard rock. And it features a roadie dressed as Jason Voorhees.
• In the "Summertime Classics" episode of The Top Ten Revealed, "School's Out" was ranked as the best one.
