Yet another "rocker" sells out to Jesus

Why does this always happen? When did the gods of metal forsake us? When I was a kid and in church they used to tell us how Alice Cooper was posessed by the soul of a woman burned as a witch. If we listened to him we would burn in hell.

Now he's a christian, himself.

"Kids love boundaries. We used to fight against them. But in all reality, what we really did want was to know where we could go. Of course, you always step over the line just a little bit to see what's going to happen," said the 58-year-old rocker, known for his ghoulish makeup and hits such as 1975's "Welcome to My Nightmare."

Cooper said his Christian, nonprofit Solid Rock Foundation has begun fundraising efforts for a 20,000-square-foot teen activity center to be called The Rock, to be built at Grand Canyon University in West Phoenix.
