#3 May Content Winner: Block Buster! British Glam Rock of the 70s




















WELLLLLL....


Just when I was comfortable with the idea that I could understand Brits and the differences between us, along comes JustBon_Crochet_Design with a BIG surprise.

Our Third Place Content Winner for May is: Block Buster! British Glam Rock of the 70s

Being that Alice Cooper is one of my 'home town' boys, I NEVER thought of him as 'British Glam'!!! David Bowie, ok -a GREAT- but an androgynous British guy wasn't, well, too surprising. But Alice Cooper????

The Alice Cooper I KNOW???

I don't care how many silk purses or earrings you put on HIS ear, he'll never be anything but a gritty Detroit hometown guy. We understood what he was up to and why. He's just 'one of ours' doing his thing- a neighborhood guy makin' music like so many other area biggies. We dearly love him, he's one of the best human beings you could ever meet, but BRITISH GLAM???

Looking back, I can kind of see her point....how they adopted him.

But, but, B-R-I-T-I-S-H Glam... Motown 'glam'if dead chickens, straight jackets & safety pins are glam.

So, now that I've recovered from a few fried brain synapses, congratulations on a great(and for me, memorable)lens.

I can't wait to see what you make of another 'hometown talent'- Madonna!
