Tom Alesia is a former longtime arts and entertainment writer/editor for Madison daily newspapers, where he wrote about why rock star Alice Cooper was awarded a key to the city and played a game of H-O-R-S-E with a Harlem Globetrotter in his backyard. He won the National Music Journalism Award for his two-part story on a Stoughton pop band that became a one-hit wonder in the early 1960s.
