I’ve been thinking about it, and I’ve realized how much the Alice Cooper episode of The Muppet Show has been an influence on me. I had it on tape as a kid, and I’ve watched it nearly every October since.
First of all, being creepy is cool.
Monsters playing rock music just seems to work.
It’s okay to be a freak. It’s even a compliment.
Monsters can frolic and play.
Monsters can even be beautiful, in their own strange way.
And public school kinda sucks. (I probably knew that already, though.)
