"BILLION DOLLAR BABIES": What If M.J.A.I. and GuignolFest Made Surreal Art For The Sixth Alice Cooper Album In 1973?

Me and my wife are die-hard Alice Cooper fans.

We love the music and the artistic record packaging.

So much so that in 2016 we wrote, produced, and performed a play about the original Alice Cooper Group and performed it in Portland and Seattle over three years just before Covid.

Alice Cooper band founders, Vincent Furnier and Dennis Dunaway, were die-hard surrealists and Salvador Dali fans.

Their sixth psychedelic stab at rock and roll history might have looked like this...if we weren't already babies in 1973.

We aren't making money off of this and this is all a "what if".

The following images were merely inspired by all of the songs on “Billion Dollar Babies”, not meant to replace anyone's original vision!

Songs can be found on YOUTUBE, just in case you want to know more!

Let us know if you like it!

Remember the Coop!
