But perhaps thats one of the distinctive things about Black Sabbath; for all their phosphorescent imagery, they do tend to think quite literally, and the ratio of artifice and contrivance, not to mention plain attitudinal song dishonesty towards the audience, in their music is unusually small. Just compare them with someone like Alice Cooper, who is a great rock n roller and true original and song fine singer in the Freddy Cannon tradition and all that, but wraps himself in more tissues off the rotting haunces of P.T. Barnum and song Belasco every tour, who doesnt really mean anything he says as far as I can see, and regards the whole thing with cynical good humor and high-energy professionalism as simple Show Business. Alice Cooper is selling a product; so are Black Sabbath, I guess, but they dont exactly know it, or at least are far more concerned with sharing their understanding of the world than with being the flashiest, hardest workin band in show business.
