Story
Rock and roll in the BC (Before Cooper) era was a tamer, milder world. In Who I Really Am, Cooper’s latest addition to Audible’s Words + Music series, we learn how the boa-wearing (not the feathered kind) maestro arrived at a show and sound - let’s call it AC for After Cooper - that has entertained millions of kids while terrifying parents in equal measure. Cooper drew inspiration from Saturday matinee horror movies, applied a "no such thing as too much" attitude, and hitched it to a kick-ass rock and roll band.

I've never experienced Alice Cooper aside from this book. Enjoyed the experience of hearing about his life through his own eyes. Delivered as though we were sitting in a Starbucks. Totally enjoyed it, especially those surprise closing thoughts. Grounding and heartfelt.

Three years later, Scott’s own novel has flopped, Emily’s struggling with her literary manuscript, and their relationship is falling apart.

Nice start ...then the profanity.
Reviewed: 09-15-21
Not my usual pick, but was drawn in by the performance. Turned it off at the middle, the profanity was a turn off.

Story
This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

Profanity
Reviewed: 08-30-21
Profanity in the very first line and repeated forward. didn't even make a dent in th he first chapter. Just not worth the assault.
