We're Not Worthy: Alice Cooper Slays Bonnaroo With Gaga Cover
Early Sunday morning, after a long and music-stuffed Saturday at Bonnaroo, I had a Wayne's World moment: I walked through the lobby of my hotel and into the elevator, where I found myself standing next to THE Alice Cooper. I almost dropped to my knees to praise his Rock Holiness, chanting "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy," just like the famous scene from Mike Myers' titular 1992 comedy. Instead I said, "Great show, man." He replied, leaning against the elevator wall, "Thanks man. I burned a lot of calories tonight. It was fun."
How would've Wayne Campbell or Garth Algar reacted to that? "Psssssssschhhhha"? Or perhaps, "Exsqueeze me?" Either way, he was right: Cooper, now 64, stomped all over That Stage during his nearly two-hour-long performance. It was a total shock rock spectacle with props, including a guillotine and 15-foot-tall frankenstein, and cover of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," and it sounded absolutely great.
