Billboard magazine, May 1994.

'Alice's Attic' was the original byline for the first Official Alice Cooper web site. It took many years for the first official site to show up on the internet, which was one of the reasons this site was created. However the 'Alice's Attic' name came from a radio show originaly transmitted for two weeks in the spring of 1994 and co-hosted by Alice and Lonn Friend. Few people heard the show but Sickthing Kurt submitted the information below.

'Alice's Attic' was originally a radio show on Z-Rock, which was the satellite hard rock station originating out of Dallas, Texas. It was broadcast over the [spring of 1994] for two weeks (ten days, four hours a day) and was co-hosted by Lonn Friend. Apparently it was pulled off the air in Winnipeg after only one show [because they were discussing a "pee hard"]. Needless to say, this was a good two weeks. Lots of great Alice stories (and a Renfield story or two) and plenty of guests (both in studio and on the phone).

Here are my notes on Alice's Attic on Z-Rock. Guests were in studio unless denoted by "(phone)". A few of the phone calls aren't marked as such but my notes are incomplete. Sue me. Each day is broken down in the same way: Giveaways and Corresponding Trivia Questions, Guests, and Comments. Most of the comments are for my own benefit because I taped the show and wanted to be able to find things later. I don't give the answers to the trivia questions because I'm feeling particularly cruel today. Some I just don't know the answers to. ...Kurt
