its almost as though alice himself had, given himself up at that time. Luckily the muppet show lifted him, and his music up, without that who knows what would of happened too Alice, luckily for us Alice fans that Alice is still going and is stronger now, than back in 77, but by goodness, what a lyrical album lace and whisky was, you and me, no more love, my god, who could possibly write that stuff nowadays, by the way i lovee goes to hell, Alice is and always will be a genuise and a legend, long live Alice..

The Muppets saved Alice and his music. Too funny!!

here's the interview I was referrring to, I can post the link if you'd like but here's the portion im talking about:

"Review: When did things start fading?

Wagner: By the second tour. We didn't tour with Go To Hell and then we did
another album, Lace & Whiskey, which is when things started coming apart.
You can hear it musically.
There were too many drugs and distractions. People started hating each
other. Alice was off the deep end, isolated from everybody, sitting alone



in his room.
We did this 'King of the Silver Stage' tour that featured chickens with
machine guns. It was hokey stuff and I hated it.
Alice and I were supposed to go on the Tonight Show together. He would sing
some ballads like Only Women Bleed and I would play acoustic guitar. At the
last minute it changed and the band actually got up with Doc Severinson and
his band and played with them. Alice had his chickens with machine guns and
that was what introduced the tour, as opposed to me and Alice doing these
beautiful ballads that would show class on the Tonight Show.
Nobody liked it or the show very much. Eventually things broke up in 1977."

Wow - Thanks for that , kinda sad to read , would seem to explain the un-focused L&W .......

>. Luckily the muppet show lifted him, and his music up,

It did win him something of a new audience but equally, I think it reduced his existing audience, as well, so I don't think it made much difference.
