Classic Rock WYFM-FM (Y-103) will help the Mahoning County Commissioners celebrate "Alice Cooper Day" in Youngstown, OH, on Saturday, April 29. Prior to Cooper's sold-out show at the Covelli Centre in Youngstown, Mahoning County Commissioners will present Cooper with a proclamation in honor of his sold-out concert and his long musical history of rocking the Youngstown area since the start of his career more than 50 years ago.

Y-103 on-air personalities Fast Freddie and Sandra Miller will be on hand Saturday to dedicate and present to Cooper a custom-painted trash can in honor of his career. The trash can was painted by artist Keith Sturgeon, whose work is known and collected by celebrities in the automotive customizing and hotrod world, including comedian and car buff Jay Leno.

In a previous interview with Y-103 afternoon host Fast Freddie, Cooper stated, "The Midwest is the hard rock capital. We're from Detroit. All around the mid-section of America, the audience wants hard rock. They don't put up with 'gosh, I hope you like us.' They want to be shaken."

Cooper added, "When those bands from Detroit come to town, we come to rock, not babysit you. New York's got its own thing, the South's got its own thing, L.A.'s got its own thing, but the Midwest is hard rock meat-and-potato rock and roll."
