| Alice Cooper, Toronto 1969 |
According
to Bang
Showbiz,
Alice Cooper wants to erect a statue to the unknown chicken which
kick started his career.
The singer and his theatrical shock rock band hit the headlines on September 13th, 1969 when their audience at a show in Canada tore the live bird to pieces, and Alice feels proper tribute should be paid to the animal, whose bloodied body was thrown back at the group.
He said: "Here's the kicker. The people in the first five rows were all in wheelchairs. They didn't like the idea that the chicken could walk - that's what flipped into my mind.
"And this was the Toronto 'Peace' Festival! I am seriously thinking of erecting a statue there; Monument to the Unknown Chicken. The noble bird that lost its life in the service of rock and roll and gave Alice Cooper a career."
