Alice Cooper Won't Shut Up!

Remember that scene in Richard Linklater's 1993 masterpiece Dazed and Confused when the school year finally ends in anonymous town Texas in 1976? You know, the final bell rings, kids throw their books at their teachers, paper suddenly blasts off into the air as if struck by two sticks of dynamite, the school doors stay ajar as moppy-haired kids wearing polo shirts and bell bottoms leap and scream in delight at the potential of freedom provided by three months off for summer break. Remember that? Well, that's not at all what it's actually like.
