Vincent Furnier was a preacher's son, athlete, and pretty much your typical "All American Boy" back in the 60s. He also had a love for rock which lead him to enter his high school talent show with a few of his friends.
These boys later became the band Alice Cooper. In order to stand out in the music industry, the band scare tacticts while preforming which lead to the creation of shock rock. This sub genre of rock was not looked kindly upon by the Christian community.
Vincent, the band's lead singer who took on the name Alice Cooper was looked at as some sort of satanic monster that would infect their children with his barbaric behavior. In reality Alice was only a stage presence, he was
created to shock people, but back home his family's friends didn't see it that
way.
His father's congregation began questioning him on his son behavior and wondering why they should listen to anything he says if his own son has turned demonic. His mother and father both were both shunned for the actions of the band.
This is really long and drawn out but essentially the song tells the story of the way Alice Cooper and his family were treated as they became notorious.
