This week we deep dive with two musicians… from buying costumes in bulk from the Ice Capades to playing in a Greek show band, my guests today have done it all. Later Alice Cooper is on the line to have a look back at his storied career… and the difference between Alice Cooper and his creator… but first Kim Mitchell swings by the Pop Life bar. 

If you grew up in Canada you know the songs "Patio Lanterns", "Rock and Roll Duty", "Rockland Wonderland” and if you’re like me, his band Max Webster was the first big rock and roll show you ever saw live. I remember they opened for Rush, were the loudest thing I had ever heard to that date and played my favourite tunes from their albums, all of which I had memorized. 

The first time I interviewed Mitchell was more than thirty years ago just after he left Max Webster for a solo career. I mumbled my way through the interview, in awe of speaking to him. I did better this time.
