THE GLEN BUXTON SHRINE

A special place dedicated to Glen Buxton's memory, image,music, and one in a billion soul 11/10/47-1

About Me

My name is J.C. Richards and those who know me know exactly why I decided to put this special web page up..I never had the extreme pleasure & honor of meeting the Blonde Bomber, and I felt It was long overdue that Glen got the attention,respect and love he always deserved both in life, and sadly in death...This is a place where you can talk about all things Buxton...His humor, his image, his guitar playing, his songwriting, his personality, and his very important place in rock and roll history which should never ever be forgotten or taken for granted...You can also respond to my blogs, post comments about G.B. you name it, let's do it....Remember people, it's all for Glen...This page is dedicated to Dennis Dunaway,Neal Smith, Michael Bruce, and Vincent Furnier....Thanks for all the years of groundbreaking music and friendship...It's also dedicated to the Buxton family...Tom,Jerry,Ken, Janice,and Bob...Your special son and brother will always be respected and idolized here...This is a safe haven for Glen's image and music, as well as a sanctuary where we all can honor his one in a billion memory

My Interests

Music, animals, friends, family,movies,bowling,pool,art,poetry,memorabilia collecting,concerts, you name it...I also love meeting local musicians and cool,honest,loyal people...Fakes,phonies and losers.....BE GONE !!!

I'd like to meet:

Look I will make this very simple for the tons of people on myspace who obviously cannot read...I refuse to accept people into this shrine for G.B. who are only looking to "rack up" friends...I am sick and tired of getting friend requests from people who have no clue who Glen Buxton was or who Alice Cooper were...And sorry jokers, this is not a classified section for your lousy bands, go get your own website to push your wannabe acts...I would rather have a small number of true died hard fans, than thousands of hooples who have not the faintest idea what I am trying to do here...I only want people to come here who love Glen and Alice Cooper as a whole..Feel free to send me messages anytime...I'd be thrilled to hear from you all...We need to keep the band alive forever..Their music is timeless, and so are the 5 unique personalities that made up the legendary band...Glen was a once in a lifetime guy who can never be replaced... His wicked cartoonish humor, his immense talent, his rebel style and his all around good natured,warm hearted soul were all gifts that anyone who knew and loved him basked in...G.B. will forever be sorely missed......R.I.P.
