Young's castaway is the rock musician Alice Cooper.
As a teenager
he says it was British music that he tuned in to - listening to The Beatles,
The Yardbirds and The Who. He realised that while rock music had many heroes,
there were few villains - that was the territory he marked out for himself. He
developed his trademark look - blackened eyes, straggly hair and glamorous
clothes - and set about designing live shows that were gleefully gory and
macabre.
While critics
have described him as 'the world's most beloved heavy metal entertainer', it
took him a while to untangle himself from his creation. "For a long time I
honestly didn't know where I began and Alice ended. My friends at the time were
Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and I was trying to keep up with
them. And I realised when they all died that you didn't have to be your
character off stage."
