Interpolating rock theatrics with a decades-long resilience, Alice Cooper appears on the Rock & Roll High School podcast and offers a casual shrug to age: "I'm 77 now." Not a lament but an affirmation, he suggests the stage still feels like home, possibly brighter now than before.

His response isn't tinged with nostalgia or longing—it's the matter-of-fact declaration of a performer who views touring not as a burden but as inertia's antidote, where the glam and grit of live shows remain intact.
