We're nearing the end of August, but there's still plenty of music coming to Pine Knob -- nearly a dozen shows, in fact, making for one of the busiest post-Labor Day weekend seasons ever.

Coming this Friday, Aug. 30, is Alice Cooper, the Detroit-born, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame shock rocker on his tour with Rob Zombie. We can expect more of the same joyfully macabre entertainment his time, too -- but with a twist.

Then, a look inside the business of concert merchandise with Bill Blackwell of Blackbird Vending in the latest episode of "Hello, Pine Knob!"
