The challenges facing local news organizations are very real. That's why reader support matters more than ever. If you believe independent journalism matters, make a contribution today and help us reach our summer fundraising goal of $15,000 by August 9.
If we’ve learned anything from Tom Hanks, it’s that we can’t have angels without demons. And, although Christmas may appear to be the most heavenly of holidays, the battle of good and evil rages on, vying for our very souls. (For every Miracle on 34th Street and “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”, there’s Silent Night, Deadly Night and Spinal Tap’s “Christmas with the Devil.”)
Fitting, then, for Alice Cooper, the Valley’s favorite born-again-boa-bearer, to invite us over for Alice Cooper’s Christmas Pudding.

Acts include something for the naughty and the nice, such as Warrant (“Cherry Pie”) and spandex showoffs Lita Ford and Dee Snider, as well as the River of Life Choir and the Solid Rock dancers.

It’s all just a little rock ’n’ roll sin and salvation.
