TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE

This week in 1977, the Alice Cooper single “Only Women Bleed” debuted on the UK Singles Chart at #44 (December 3)
Cooper’s guitarist Dick Wagner, who co-wrote the song with him, told Songfacts:
It's really a song about domestic violence.
It was misunderstood when it first came out.
It was supposedly about a woman's period, but it wasn't. It was about a woman's subservient position in society to a man.
I'm a firm believer that women are the superior sex. 'Only Women Bleed' was a liberating kind of song."
Alice told Mojo:
"I didn't realize it would end up as a woman's anthem.
I just needed a ballad for Welcome to my Nightmare."
The song was alternatively titled "Only Women" by Atlantic Records due to protests by feminist groups, which also limited its airplay on radio and tv.
Despite this, the song became one of Cooper's biggest hits, going all the way to #1 in Canada, #12 on the US Billboard Hot 100, #21 in New Zealand, and #50 in Australia.
