According to 'Rolling Stone' Magazine, Alice along with the Hollywood Vampires (inc. Johnny Depp, Aerosmith's Joe Perry and Guns N' Roses' Duff McKagan) will perform at tomorrow's Grammy awards ceremony in Los Angeles performing a tribute to Lemmy as well as a new song called "As Bad As I Am". The new song is apparently a bonus track on the (inevitable) deluxe edition of the Hollywood Vampires album which also includes 'I'm A Boy' (The Who) and 'Seven And Seven Is' (Love) and is released on February 12th.

Back to 'Flush The Fashion', and the final track on the first side is entitled 'Aspirin Damage' which is possibly the album's most interesting song - somehow it manages to sound both lighthearted and mean at the same time. Musically, it still too 'new-wave' for my liking, but for some reason, the lyrics remind me of 'Unfinished Sweet' from the 'Billion Dollar Babies' album Alice Cooper - vocals Davey Johnstone - Lead Guitar Fred Mandel - Guitar, Keyboards Dennis Conway - Drums "Cooker" John LoPresti - Bass Backing Vocals - Flo And Eddie, Joe Pizzulo, Fred Mandel, Ricky 'Rat' Tierney and Keith Allison. 05/10 - Aspirin Damage (Cooper, Johnstone, Mandel) "I get these killer headaches I get one everyday I wake up with a migraine Since you ran away Got a load of tension Burnin' up my neck Something's wrong with my suspension So pass those tablets to this wreck Aspirin damage Aspirin damage Kills the pain, destroys the brain No one told me about Aspirin damage Sometimes I find myself shakin' From the medication taken Oh yeah. I balance my Excedrin And Anacins in stacks I'm a pain reliever junkie I got a Bayer on my back. I went to see the doctor He walked me down the hall Said "Strip down 'til you're naked Your suit, your tie and all." Aspirin damage Aspirin damage Kills the pain, destroys the brain Aspirin damage, my disadvantage Sometimes I find myself shakin' From the medication taken Oh yeah. Aspirin damage Aspirin damage Kills the pain, an' destroys the brain No one told me 'bout Aspirin damage Sometimes I find myself shakin' From the medication taken Oh yeah Aspirin damage Aspirin damage Kills the pain, an' destroys the brain No one told me 'bout Aspirin damage Sometimes I find myself shakin' From the medication taken Oh yeah" Onto the second side, and we get 'Nuclear Infected' and finally it's a guitar based song, altho the synths and drum machines are still there It's a tight rocker, that harks back to the sound of classic Alice - maybe it was the first song written for the album? 06/10 - Nuclear Infected (Cooper, Johnstone, Mandel) "I'm nuclear infected I really don't mind I just go out when the sun goes down And have a real good time. I can clear out any ballgame In a minute and a half Just show up - glow up And have a real good laugh When I'm happy I glow yellow When I'm sad I glow blue And I glow red hot when I'm in bed with you I'm nuclear infected Really ain't that bad In fact it's about the best time I guess I ever had I'm nuclear infected I`m looking for a mate So I slip on something lead, babe And go out on a date When I'm happy I glow yellow When I'm sad I glow blue, yeah And I glow red hot when I'm in bed with you (Nuclear infected) Don't make me angry (Nuclear infected) Don't make shake (Nuclear infected) Don't get me to sneeze (Nuclear infected) That's a big mistake I want to live on Three Mile Island Where things are clean and neat 'Cause we don't have no health freaks Clutterin' up our streets I'm nuclear infected I need something to eat A China Syndrome Salad with plutonium and cheese. When I'm happy I glow yellow When I'm sad I glow blue And I glow red hot when I'm in bed with you"

Back to 'Flush The Fashion' again, and seventh song is called 'Grim Facts' which is a loose hard rock song that sounds like it could have been written for the 'From The Inside' album Alice Cooper - vocals Davey Johnstone - Lead Guitar Fred Mandel - Guitar, Keyboards Dennis Conway - Drums "Cooker" John LoPresti - Bass Backing Vocals - Flo And Eddie, Joe Pizzulo, Fred Mandel, Ricky 'Rat' Tierney and Keith Allison. The video was recorded live at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey on October 10th, 1981 on the 'Special Forces' tour. The quality is not the best, but it does showcase a new look for Alice! 07/10 - Grim Facts (Cooper, Johnstone, Mandel) "The boy's got problems The boy's got stress The boy's got a .38 hidden in his desk The boy's got a chickie With four months to go Grim Facts - every parent better know The girl's a heavy teaser Wants to do a private show She's got a hundred thousand fantasies She wants the band to know She likes to brush across my Levis She likes to watch him grow Grim Facts - every parent better know Grim Facts - every parent better know Red lights, gang fights Brewing in the heat Cop cars, gay bars On your precious street That ain't so neat Sister's on the street now Looking for some Joe Only got about an hour To pay for her new nose Gets a hundred for her body A nickel for her soul These are grim facts - every parent better know Grim facts - every parent better know Red lights, gang fights Brewing in the heat Cop cars, gay bars On your precious street Ready to eat And I'm feeling itchy Got a fire down below I'm a walkin' loaded time bomb Just about to blow Tries to slide inside my pockets But it's strictly SRO Grim facts - every parent better know Grim facts - every parent better know Red lights, gang fights Brewing in the heat Cop cars, gay bars On your precious street That ain't so neat Mmm Grim facts, you know, growing all the time Mmm Grim facts, real grim Yeah Grim Facts" Song number eight is 'Model Citizen' is also a 'throwback' song, but this time it harks back to the sloppy garage punk of the days of the original Alice Cooper Group - not that this is a bad thing! It features Alice giving one of his 'Broadway Show' vocal performances - actually, he doesn't even sing very much in here, it's a return to the 'talking' performance, while the back-up singers provide the vocal melody 08/10 - Model Citizen (Cooper, Johnstone, Mandel) "Be an Arab, be a Jew Be a boxing kangaroo Beat yourself all black and blue I don't care Be a bleeder, be a Cancer A hemophiliac romancer Be a crippled disco dancer Oooh... What a pair He's a model citizen I think I've got them fooled them again He's an ultra-sweety guy And a master of disguise He's a model citizen Just keep believing that my friends I'm a model citizen I'm a model citizen I'm a model citizen I'm a model citizen I'm an all American!!! I'm a hostage in a city of creeps They've got mercenary guards that watch me sleep They'd like to kill me slow and bury me deep In the heart of Texas I'm a martyr and I'm a sadist I might be the Savior here to save us I'm a friend of Sammy Davis, casually He's a model citizen I think I've got them fooled again He's an ultra-sweety guy I won't let down my disguise He's a model citizen Just keep believing that my friends I'm a model citizen I'm a model citizen I'm a model citizen I'm a model citizen I'm an all American I'm a model citizen I'm a model citizen I'm a model citizen I'm an all American"

The penultimate song on the album is called 'Dance Yourself To Death' which is a fun, catchy country-based song Lyrically it's fun, and Alice even gives a name check to Devo, a band that the album has been criticised for sounding too much like Alongside Alice, the song is credited to Frank Crandall, who was a bass guitarist that Michael Bruce worked with during 1973/4 09/10 Dance Yourself To Death (Cooper, Crandall) "Oh my liberated parents They are gonin' out tonight They read the hippest magazines They've loosened their uptights Dad's wearin' real tight Levis And some Gucci Tennis shoes He's got a T-shirt custom made for him Saying "Give me pot not booze" I get a kiss good-bye I get all numb and high From all the smoke left on their breath I smile and wish them well Then I pray like hell They go and dance themselves to death Mom's hair's all green and dirty She wears a high tech Devo Suit She changed her name to Xerox She hides Quaaludes in her boots Oh, me, I'm all real embarrassed When I hear the things they do They kinda compromise my social position And my cool-ativity is suffering too! I get a kiss good-bye I get all numb and high From all the smoke left on their breath I smile and wish them well And then I pray like hell They go and dance themselves to death Ahh dance Real hard I get a kiss good-bye I get all numb and high From all the smoke left on their breath I smile and wish them well And then I pray like hell They go and dance themselves to death Come on momma Come on daddy Come on skinny Come on fatty Shake it Martha Shake it Larry Shake it Mr. Coronary You gotta dance dance Come on and dance dance Dance 'til you're outta breath" The final song on the album, 'Headlines' is another song with a very catchy chorus. Musically, for some reason it reminds me of the 50's, even tho it is not a 50's song! 10/10 Headlines (Cooper, Johnstone, Mandel) "Do a show, save a child Raise a million bucks that'll last a while Fight at parties, buy a horse Lose a couple, win that big divorce I wanna be in the headlines Anything to be in the headlines Saw my chance, made my break I took the biggest float in the Rose parade Got jailed, no disgrace A hundred million people saw my face Called a conference with the press Announced my marriage plans in a wedding dress Climb a building at six-below On New Year's Eve without a stitch of clothes I wanna be in the headlines Anything to be in the headlines As long as they spell my name right I hope that they catch my best side Popped out from a cake At the President's ball. what a big mistake Fifty guns aimed at me I was nearly killed but what publicity Nominated. something big Stole the hottest scene says the Globe And Trib Dirty movie comes to light But I was starving then so that's alright I wanna be in the headlines Anything to be in the headlines As long as the spell my name right Oh I hope that they catch my best side Keep my sidewalk status star bright Feel free to walk on me tonight Just don't spit on me. Headlines, headlines, Headlines, headlines, Headlines, headlines, Headlines (..to fade)" The 1980 tour dates are a mess. There were lots of changes (dates and/or venues) and some cancelations. Add to that some existing tour itineries are provably wrong and there is a lot of incorrect date info on the net. What IS known, however, is that a show held at the Ontario C.N.E Stadium in Toronto on August 19th 1980 Toronto, was cancelled due to Alice suffering the worst asthma attack he had had in years. The show was canceled and the fans went crazy causing $75,000 in damages to the venue, and resulting in 31 arrests and 17 injuries News report video The touring band, known as 'Hostage Fever', consisted of: Fred Mandel - guitar Mike Pinera - guitar Duane Hitchings - keyboards, guitar Erik Scott - bass Ross Salomone - drums A sample setlist consisted of:
The 'Flush The Fashion' album is not a bad record in itself, but it is not a good Alice Cooper album either. I think that the main problem that people have with it, is the very different musical style that it contains. Think of the controversy that Celtic Frost faced when they released the 'A Cold Lake' record, and this is the same thing - fans wanted Alice to play gothic rock and not synth-based new wave music.

![]() 'Special Forces'' released in 1981, was Alice's 13th studio album. It is the first of the three albums which Alice refers to as his "blackout" albums, as he has absolutely no recollection of recording them, due to substance abuse. He has stated stated “I wrote them, recorded them and toured them and I don’t remember much of any of thatâ€. What sets 'Special Forces' apart from the others is it's an especially dark album. Throughout the first half, Alice only sings with his famous sinister-evil voice, more intensely than he did on 'Welcome to My Nightmare'. The second side of the album tends to favor novelty songs, but even those are a little bit menacing The working title for the album was 'Skeletons In The Closet' It's very much a Marmite album - you either love it or you hate it! Alice Cooper - vocals Duane Hitchings - Keyboards Danny Johnson - Guitar Craig Kampf - Drums Mike Pinera - Guitar Erik Scott - Bass Producer - Richard Podolor The opening cut, 'Who Do You Think We Are?' is possibly my favourite song on the album. It begins with an extended synth-scape intro, reminiscent of Hawkwind! It's a good intro, and then the song turns into a drum-and-guitar one, which you can enjoy no matter what era of rock you like most. The melody is catchy, the riffs are good, and it has a very dark atmosphere It's a song I would like to see back in the live set 01/10 - Who Do You Think We Are? (Cooper, Hitchings) "Who do you think we are I'm machinery With a semi-automatic heart I'm unclassified I terminate, I tear apart I'm always there when you think I'm not I'm razor sharp and I'm white and hot My finger squeezes out the final shot Say "Goodbye" No integrity No contemplating soul or thought I'm insanity I'm a camouflag-ed work of art I've done some things I really can't describe I've made some mouths open pretty wide And I am licensed, trained and bona fide Say "Goodbye" Who do you think we are Special forces in an armoured car Who do you think we are We don't care, we don't care I'm carnivorous Can't count the flesh that I've been through Never sick of this I'm red and white and black and blue I'm always there when you think I'm not I'm razor sharp and I'm white and hot My finger squeezes out the final shot Say "Goodbye" Who do you think we are Special forces in an armoured car Who do you think we are We don't care, we don't care Who do you think we are Who do you think we are We don't care Who do you think we are Who do you think we are We just don't care Who do you think we are Who do you think we are No, no, no, we just don't care Who do you think we are We Don`t care Who do you think we are Who do you think we are Who do you think we are (repeat to fade)" This is followed by 'Seven And Seven Is', a cover of the song originally recorded by the band Love in 1966. It has also been recorded by The Ramones and Rush amongst others, but this version is evil! 02/10 - Seven And Seven Is (Arthur Lee) "Yeah! Oom oom! When I was a boy I thought that someday I would be a man I'd sit inside the fireplace, pretend that I was in a can Go inside my room and put my mind in an ice cream cone And you can throw me if you want, but I'm a ball and I go Oom! Ba ba! Oom! Ba ba! Yeah! Oh, yeah yeah! Now if I don't stop crying, it's because that I have got no eyes My heart lies in the fireplace, my dog lies hypnotised And then there was the time I wasn't able to find my way And I'm trapped inside a night but I`m a day and I go Oom! Ba ba! Oom! Ba ba! Yeah! Now, when I was a boy I thought that someday I would be a man I'd sit inside the fireplace, pretend that I was in a can Go inside my room and put my mind in an ice cream cone Now you can throw me if you want, but I'm a ball and I go Oom! Ba ba! Oom! Ba ba! Yeah! Yeah.. Oom Ba ba ba ba yeah! Oom ba ba omm ba Oom ba ba omm ba ba yeah (xan-na du) Oom Ba ba ba ba yeah!"

'Prettiest Cop On The Block' is an attack of the police force, telling about a cross-dressing copper! Musically, it's a fun song with fast guitars and dark, bending synthesizers in the background, which gives an interesting texture. He's really likes using his dark, evil growl! The video for this song, and the other ones that 'look the same' in this 'Special Forces' section, come from a 46 minute French television special entitled 'Alice Cooper A Paris' [aka 'Alice in Paris', 'The Paris Special' and '16 Tracks'], originally transmitted on January 14th, 1982. It contains a number of music videos from the 'Special Forces' album, mixed with some older classics. Sadly there has never been an official release of this, and, while not officially broadcast outside France, copies have been circulating amongst Alice Cooper fans for ages. As always, for fans of the band, it is well worth trying to track down a copy 04/10 - The Prettiest Cop On The Block (Cooper, Johnstone, Mandel) "I'm 6 foot 3 with a fist like a hammer And I work with the Vice Squad when I can And when I pull out my badge they forget all my glamour Little guys all surprised take a seat For me it's a first I'm a man I'm the prettiest cop on the block I set your souls on fire Yes, I'm the prettiest cop on the block I'm cool and I'm so mean Oh, I'm the prettiest cop on the block I've handcuffed your desire I've got a stiff reputation with a stick like a rock My kids are confused and my wife is a shock I'm a full blooded man not a weak immitation I like to flex my arms in the neon lights I'm a queen on the street and a king at the station It's a secret of mine, not a sign I'm gonna make that right Because.. I'm the prettiest cop on the block I set your souls on fire Yes, I'm the prettiest cop on the block I'm cool and oh so mean I`m the prettiest cop on the block I've handcuffed your desire I got a stiff reputation with a stick like a rock My kids are confused and my wife is a shock I must look pretty shocking In my bullet proof vest With my black lace stockings All this hair on my chest When the boys see me coming All the boys start to run They all got their real big holsters And I got the only gun Because... I'm the prettiest cop on the block I set your souls on fire Yes, I'm the prettiest cop on the block I'm cool and I'm so mean Yes, I'm the prettiest cop on the block I've handcuffed your desire I've got a stiff reputation with a stick like a rock My kids are confused and my wife is a shock I'm the prettiest cop on the block I set your souls on fire Yes, I'm the prettiest cop on the block And I'm cool, so mean I'm the prettiest cop on the block I've handcuffed your desire I'm so pretty, I'm so pretty, So pretty, yes, I'm Gorgous I`m really lovely.. And I'm so mean, so mean.. I`m damn mean And I`m pretty... I'm so mean.. (repeat to fade..)" Next is 'Don't Talk Old To Me', which This starts out as a rather violent song with loudly pounding drum beat, before evolving into a rather nice and tuneful section. It's a very schizophrenic song, that is...um...interesting! The featured film in the video, which is not an official release, but rather a fan-thing with the song set to images, is 'Falling Down' 04/10 - Don't Talk Old To Me (Cooper, Johnstone, Mandel) "Don't tell me I should, I better, I can Don't talk old to me Don't shake that finger in my face no more 'Cause I might bite it off and spit it on the floor Better get secure get my life insured Buy a house and car that run Better sell my bike, my leather coats Those city auto parts and all my guns Don't talk old to me (don`t talk old to me) Don't talk so old to me (don`t talk old to me) Don't talk old to me tonight, tonight (don`t talk old tonight) Don't tell me I should, I better, I can Don't talk old to me Don't shake that finger in my face no more 'Cause I might bite it off and spit it on the floor Don't talk old to me (Don't talk old to me) Don't talk so old to me (Don't talk old to me) Don't talk old to me tonight, tonight (don`t talk old tonight) Don't talk old to me (Don't talk old to me) Kill me psychologically (Psychologically) Don't talk old to me tonight (don`t talk old tonight) Don't bark and I won't bite Won't bite Don't you bark Better get secure, get my life insured Buy a house and car that run Better sell my bike, my leather coats Those city auto parts and all my guns No fun, no fun No fun, no fun, no fun, no fun fun fun Now don't talk old to me (Don't talk old to me) Don't talk so old to me (Don't talk old to me) Don't talk old to me tonight, tonight (don`t talk old tonight) Don't talk old to me (Don't talk old to me) Kill me psychologically (Psychologically) Don't talk old to me tonight (don`t talk old tonight) That`s the last time I'm gonna say please Don't you talk so old, don't talk old to me to night Are you deaf? Are you deaf I`m not gonna say it no more, no no no Don't talk old no more Don't talk old, don`t talk old.. Noooooooo, no! No no no no no no no......."

The first side of the album ends with a strange one - a supposedly live recording of one of the songs that had already appeared on the 'Billion Dollar Babies' album: 'Generation Landslide '81'. I say 'supposedly' because when Renfield, Alice's personal assistant, was asked about the recording of this version, which had never been played live before the tour to promote this album, he relied: "Oops-BUSTED. Oh, well. That's show biz. But then again - when and where would have this been done live? Answer-never. Sorry to shatter any illusions". When asked about the inclusion of this song, he stated: "The new verse in 'Generation Landslide' was written in the studio while recording 'Special Forces'. AC had been toying with the idea of a remake for awhile - that just wound up being the one. I'm proud to say that I wrote the phrase "No one gives an oink..." God, I'm weird." Other than the new verse, however, this version doesn't add much to the original song 05/10 - Generation Landslide '81 ((Cooper, Bruce, Dunaway, Smith, Buxton) "Please clean your plate dear, the Lord above can see ya Don't you know people are starving in Korea Alcohol and razor blades and poisons and needles Kindergarten people, they used 'em they need 'em The over indulgent machines were their children And there wasn't a way down on earth here to cool 'em 'Cause they look just like a human at Kresge's and Woolworths But decadent brains were at work to destroy Brats in batallions were ruling the streets sayin' Generation landslide, close the gap between them And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies Who never conceived those billion dollar babies Lada da dada Militant mothers hiding in the basement Using pots and pans as their shields and their helmets Molotov top milk bottles heaved from pink highchairs While mothers' lib burned birth certificate papers And dad gets his allowance from his sonny the dealer Who's pubic to the world but involved in high finance Sister's out 'till 5, doing banker son's hours But she owns a Mazarotti that's a gift from his father Stop at full speed, at 100 miles per hour The Colgate invisible shield finally got 'em And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies Who never conceived those billion dollar babies Lada da dada No one gives an oink about prom night or football 'Cause just getting home from school safe is a gamble and a blessing Girlsies play with girlsies and boysies with boysies Bored with one another, like old broken Christmas toysies Kids are all hot, get their parents so annoysie And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies Lada da dada" The first song on the second side of the album is 'Skeletons In The Closet', a camp, corny horror movie song It features an extremely catchy synth-bass riff that plays amidst a campy drum-machine beat along with some buzzy synthesizers vaguely resembling a harpsichord. 06/10 - Skeletons In The Closet (Cooper, Hitchings) "Woah-oh, woah-oh Skeletons in my closet Woah-oh, woah-oh yeah Skeletons in my closet Skeletons in my closet Skeletons in my shoes Skeletons I can only see Skeletons I can lose I said woah-oh, woah-oh I got skeletons in my closet I said woah-oh, woah-oh yeah Skeletons in my closet Skeletons in my basement Loitering on my street Wearing my best pyjamas Sandwiched between my sheets I said woah-oh, woah-oh yeah Skeletons in my closet I said woah-oh, woah-oh yeah Skeletons in my closet Ooh, I see bones I see bones, icy bones Ooh, I see bones Say say bones - say boys don't you see them bones? Rattle them bones at midnight Shaking my bed, no sleep I find fingers in my coat pocket Skeletons from the deep I said woah-oh, woah-oh I got skeletons in my closet I said woah-oh, woah woah-oh I got skeletons in my closet Ooh, I see bones I see bones, s-see bones Ooh, I see bones Icy bones Say boys don't you see them bones? No? Heart bones, leg bones, ankle bones, arm bones, finger bones, dogie bones, head bones Skeletons in my closet They even know I'm in my closet It's my.. my closet Not your closet My closet You can help me though (whisper) Alice we want you Alice Alice Alice A-Alice What? Whaddya want?"

The seventh song on the album, 'You Want It, You Got It' is another strange one Musically, it screams 80's, while lyrically it basically consists of the title repeated over and over and over... It is not my favourite song on offer Alongside Alice, the credited writers are Erik Scott (bass player with Flo & Eddie as well as Alice); Craig Kampf (drummer); Billy Steele (guitarist who played on the next album, 'Zipper Catches Skin') and Erik Katz 07/10 - You Want It, You Got It (Cooper, Scott, Krampf, Steele, Kaz) "You want money - mm You want lots of love - ah Want a Ferrari - zoom Oh, don't you get enough - ah, too bad Hmm, I can get it You want it, you got it You want it, you got it Mmm ... OK ... Alright - anything can be arranged You want it, you got it You want it, you got it (You want it) If you want it, if you want it, if you want it (You got it) Then you got it, then you got it, then you got it (You want it) If you want it, if you want it, if you want it (You got it) Then you got it, then you got it, then you got it (You want it) If you want it, if you want it, if you want it (You got it) Then you g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-got it You got it You want Chateau Breyon for breakfast every day - Ok You want some Spanish lover to lay in bed all day - Ole ... ooh, mm It`s alright (You want it) Yeah you want it (You got it) Ooh, you got it (You want it, you got it) (You want it, you got it) (You want it) If you want it, if you want it, if you want it (You got it) Then you got it, then you got it, then you got it (You want it) If you want it, if you want it, if you want it (You got it) Then you got it, then you got it, then you got it (You got it) Then you got it, then you got it, then you got it (You got it) Then you got it, then you got it, then you got it (repeat to fade)" The next song, 'You Look Good In Rags', is much better It's a mid-paced pop/rocker, which reminds me of Blondie 08/10 - You Look Good In Rags (Cooper, Hitchings) "Yeah yeah Yeah I seen cool, I seen cold I've seen the women up front, way down below Ladies of the evenin' street and some were like vipers I've seen 'em dressed real tight, act real loose I've seen 'em strutting good stuff, I've seen 'em all used Thousand dollar faces and worth every penny they spend there But you look good in rags With dirt in your hair Yeah you look good in rags babe Oh, I don't care Ah, you look good Yes you look good in rags With bones in your hair Ah, you look good in anything Mmm, I don't care Now I seen class, I seen tact I've seen 'em walking down the street with smoke in their stack And pouring into limos, they wake up in millionaires' bedrooms I seen the hair cut short, black and sleek Tied in 20 thousand knots, so ultra unique Swearing by the Harpers bazaar like it were the Bible But you look good in rags With dirt in your hair Yeah you look good in rags babe Oh, I don't care Yeah, yeah you look good in..oh... You look good in rags With dirt in your hair Oh,yeah, you look good in anything Forget about vogue, golden 100 dollar jeans, you make a 2 dollar T-shirt obscene Rag, rags, rags, rags, rags, rags, (etc etc... to fade)"
