From the Chicago Sun Times:
Alice Cooper saved Christmas for 12-year-old Carlos "CJ" Cardenas. Well, Alice Cooper and a team of surgeons at Rush University Medical Center.
CJ, a sixth-grader from Lake Villa, was feeling pretty down last week as he lay in a hospital bed, recovering from surgeries to remove a terribly painful and aggressive tumor in his mouth.
Then came a package in the mail from an unlikely hero for a preteen - 58-year-old rocker Alice Cooper. The Detroit native had gotten word about CJ's plight and autographed a blue Fender Squire electric guitar for him.
"C.J., You Rock! Alice Cooper," the silver-inked message reads.
Cooper had already been CJ's favorite musician - he has a closet full of Cooper T-shirts and a room full of Cooper videos, CDs and posters. CJ even put on Cooper's trademark face paint for a summer concert in Waukegan.
His fascination with Cooper - and also with the band Kiss - somewhat perplexes his 45-year-old mom, as both bands' heydays were in line with her generation - not CJ's. But CJ knows what he likes.
So his mom's boss helped get word to Cooper about the boy's condition. And the rock star came through.
Knowing that his hero cared about him turned out to be the perfect medicine for CJ.
"He was so depressed at that point because he had been here [at the hospital] so long," said his mother, Marla Belson. "But, after he got this, it was like someone blew life back into him.
"I had felt like I couldn't get through to him anymore because he was so depressed. After he got this, it was almost as if there was nothing else in the world that could have done this for his spirits. It changed his whole game plan. He became proactive at that point. I think it played a huge part in him being home for Christmas."
CJ's troubles sprang up quickly. His tumor was diagnosed not long after Thanksgiving, and he was in the hospital Dec. 11 for surgery. But recovery was slow. Then came the guitar.
"I was happy," CJ said while sitting in his hospital bed before being released Friday, a feeding tube in his nose and the guitar in his hands, "because nothing like this has ever happened."
Happy? That's an understatement, his family says.
"His eyes popped out of his head," said his stepdad, Dave Belson. "He was a different kid within a split second."

Cali_Black_Man - 1/4/2007 11:27:07 AM trust me 108XRAY, you dont even need to explain yourself to a douche like Anal-queer. im sure you see more craziness in one day then pussy boy sees in his own life, it owul dprobably have him running home to suckon mamas tit, plus im sure you have more guts in one finger then he does in his pathetic little body. actually i understand why Anal-queer has no kids, probably because hes shooting blanks, so when his little whitebread girlfriend needs some REAL mandingo cock, send her tight little ass to compton so me and the homies can run a train on her.
108XRAY - 1/4/2007 11:10:26 AM Analgravy: You see, there it is. A bad case of motorboat mouth and rowboat ass. You really put me in my place. By the way I'm a cop and I signed up after 9-11 to do my part for the many other cops, firefighters, and innocents who lost their lives and their chance at the American Dream. That was an attack on our way of life, and it became my chance to hand them their OWN asses. My philosophy is simple, take the war to them so they don't take it to us. These fanatics don't care about your dream. To them, you are an infedel and need to die as a result of your beliefs you proudly tout here. To me, your just misguided and undereducated to the real world. Your so called American Dream was supported and continues to be supported by the men and women who are dying today and have died in other wars. As for my education and intelligence they are secured and assured. You ignorant fuck...you don't get it!! By the way, your welcome...

analgravy2 - 1/3/2007 11:23:27 PM Fuck no I'm not on an arm. Those are for dumbasses who think they're going to make a profit or sell their house in 2 years. I did a 30 year fixed (5.5%) first time home buyer loan. If the economy gets so fucking terrible that I can't even make a mortgage payment equivilate to rent (which mine is), then not even FDIC will save our asses. As for kids, maybe it's mental illness, but I can't fucking stand them. I don't want any and have no need for the money suckers.
Cali_Black_Man - 1/3/2007 2:22:43 PM HAHa, save the white power manure, dipshit. trust me, your coward-chicken shit ass would NEVER want a race war, your a tough guy online but in person i bet your a pussy, most people who talk shit are. which would make Anal-queer-gravy the biggest pussy on the internet.
