Rock legend Alice Cooper says he has no regrets about changing his name to something more memorable when he launched his career. The heavy metal rocker, who's birth name was Vincent Furnier, legally renamed himself in 1974 but admits his mother Ella Mae still can't get used to the idea. "My mom's the only one to still call me Vince. She says, 'Hey, superstar, take out the trash.'"
He says of his name change, "That was one of the brilliant moments of my life. At this point, Alice Cooper is woven into Americana."
In addition to being a veteran rocker whose career has spanned 4 decades, Alice is also a celebrity golfer, owns a restaurant (Cooperstown) in Phoenix, and has an awesome radio program which he DJs - "Nights with Alice Cooper".
