...some biographical insights about Glen from his sister, Janice...
"He had an almost compulsive appeal for WC Fields and used his quotes as often as possible.
He LOVED James Dean.
He had an innate sense of humor and loved playing with words a-la Slip Mahoney(Bowery Boys). "That dimunendo is most staccato." He loved the movie West Side Story. That should be obvious from the references in the Alice Cooper music.
He loved Jim Morrison, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Les Paul, Brian Wilson, The Beatles, and many others.
He liked watching boxing and was honored and overcome with wonder when he was able to meet "Ali-the Greatest."
He loved photography, explosives (large firecrackers), guns, switchblades, astronomy, building models, antiques, Betty Boop, Wallace and Ladmo, old cars, old movies, cartoons, Mad magazine, trivia, and his favorite pastime of all, watching old television shows. He loved Ozzie and Harriet, Leave it to Beaver, Father Knows Best, Alfred Hitchcock, Twilight Zone, etc. One of his very favorite newer shows was The Wonder Years. He also liked Beavis and Butthead.
Glen kept journals and he would write down quotes from shows that intrigued him or ones he thought were funny. Then he would play with them until they became his own. He put his own twists and turns on them. One I found in a journal was, "If my brain was lard, it wouldn't grease a very big pan." I could go on and on..."
Glen was on a talk show called 'Just Testing'. He interviewed Steve Vai, Weird Al, and some others...he had a ball. We have a tape of some of his shows. Glen always loved television with a passion and was delighted to be on a show. ( I have always compared the show to Wayne and Garth from Wayne's World.) 'Just Testing' was a cable access show that was about to be picked up by PBS...and Glen couldn't wait to make his mark.
(Janice Buxton, May 1998)
I was reading 'Me Alice' and it said that Glen was the only one who knew how to play when they started out.
This is TRUE. Glen was the only one who could read music. He taught Dennis enough chords to get by for the first and famous letterman's talent show.
Glen started playing guitar when he was about 12. I know he took lessons while we were still living in Akron. He quit for a while and then started lessons again after we moved out to Phoenix.
Glen started Cortez High School as a freshman and continued through to graduation in 1965. During this time he decided to pick up the guitar again. He liked photography and worked on the school newspaper called The Tip Sheet. That is where he met Dennis Dunaway and Vince Furnier. John Tatum was a friend of Glen's and John Speer was friends with Dennis and Vince. These five got together to form The Earwigs.They played high school dances and a great Battle of the Bands at the Christown Mall in Phoenix.
They met a man named Jack Curtis who wanted them to become the Spyders like in 007. But the guys still liked those bug names and kept it Spiders.
This is probably Christopher Lee's last album: he will be 88 soon - although with his energy, he might well reach 100!! :)
