Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
With his first book, Cooper, the original shock rocker, attempts to combine autobiography and golf manual in one snappy narrative; that both parts are equally half-baked hardly matters, as Cooper's simple, frank account of his 40-plus years in the rock and roll biz is great entertainment. Cooper started playing golf in the early 1980s-as many as 36 holes a day-to fill his post-rehab days and keep him from the destructive spiral of alcoholism. Thus, golf plays a vital role in this memoir; indeed, without golf, Cooper might no longer be alive-and not incidentally, the rock legend has since become one of the best players on the pro-am tournament circuit. Cooper devotes 12 sections to his "steps of golf addiction" ("Be a Good Imitator," "Let the Adreneline Flow," "Play with Those who Inspire You"), interspersed between short chapters that present a Cliff's Notes version of his life. Revelations include the truth behind the infamous 1969 incident in which Cooper threw a live chicken into a rabid Detroit audience, an unexpected backstage encounter with Liberace and Cooper's late-life conversion to Christianity. While there's more here for fans of Alice Cooper's music than his fellow golfing nuts, the man deserves credit for finding a way to tell his life story that's as unconventional as the life itself.

From AudioFile
Bombastic rocker Alice Cooper, who tells his story of crawling out of a bottle and onto the links, shatters the myth that golf is a haven only for business types. Cooper--who has been shocking fans since the 60s -- keeps his life positively charged, in part by his time on various courses. With an almost impish voice, the singer-songwriter (who is pushing 60) relates his life story and provides tips for serious golf. Fans and non-fans of both his music and the sport will enjoy Coopers experiences. His name-dropping is more interesting than egotistical, and the only blemish is slight--he shills a bit for a golf company.
