I thought I’d share actual video of one of the more infamous–and erroneous–stories in rock history. For years people told the story of how Alice Cooper bit the head off a live chicken onstage, a story that helped cement his shock rocker rep.
The truth, revealed in this documentary clip, was that someone in the audience threw the chicken onto the stage and Alice, not knowing chickens can’t fly, tossed it back, wereupon the audience tore it to pieces.
Bad for the chicken–who probably wondered, as we all do, what it was doing at an Alice Cooper show–but great for rock and roll lore.
