Cooper to receive honorary doctorate

PHOENIX (AP) — School's in for Alice Cooper. The rock star, whose hits include School's Out, is being awarded an honorary doctorate by a Christian liberal arts college. The 56-year-old will receive the honorary degree at Grand Canyon University's commencement ceremony Saturday.

Cooper also financially supports Grand Canyon University and will receive his degree at their commencement.

Cooper, whose classic albums include Killer, and Welcome to my Nightmare, has been a financial supporter of the school, university officials said.

He was known for shocking audiences with gruesome concert performances featuring simulated hangings and infant dolls gushing blood. More recently, he's been known in the Phoenix area as a family man who sometimes coaches Little League.

"Alice Cooper is a guy who made it big in a very tough business and has made his faith a priority," said Michael K. Clifford, vice chairman for the university, in a written statement. "He can become a real mentor for our students, sharing his knowledge, valuable contacts and real-life experiences in the performing arts."

botox is useless in his case... he needs to drink more blood

Three years of work for a degree, and then they just give away a doctorate to someone else!?

I suppose it isn't like he has done nothing.
