Just read over at the Tribune that Vincent Furnier, Kansas, Joe Nichols and Corbin Bleu will be performing at the Montana State Fair this year, along with previously-announced artists Jason Aldean, Kellie Pickler, Eric Church, and Little Big Town. Wait a minute: Vincent Furnier? Yep – the one and only Alice Cooper! You know – the guy who does commercials for Staples (funny!) and Residence Inn. Oh, yeah, and he’s also something of a legend in rock-n-roll.
UPDATE: some folks are not too happy with the musical choices for this year’s fair; looks like there’s too much country and “classic rock,” and not enough modern stuff. Who would YOU like to see perform?

I’ve seen Alice Cooper…years ago he opened for The Scorps at the Alamodome. Yes, he is a legend…one of the original shock rockers, IMO. He was great live.
I don’t think he’s a good fit for a State Fair AT ALL, that’s really bizarre. I actually feel sorry for the guy, now that I know he’s on the bill!
I’ve never been to the Fair, so I don’t know anything about the venue. Will he be able to integrate the props, sets, and other theatrics that are key to his show?
