Rockers are known as hopeless ladies’ men, but Alice Cooper ignored the advances of Raquel Welch when she threw herself at him, according to a memoir by guitarist Dick Wagner. Wagner and Cooper were in Miami in 1976 for Super Bowl weekend, and Welch was performing at the Fontainebleau. “We were invited up to her suite,” writes Wagner in “Not Only Women Bleed.” “I sensed something was going on . . . at least in Raquel’s mind.” Wagner advised his pal, “You gotta do it at least one time for all us horny bastards in the world.” But “Alice had a propensity towards being faithful to his girlfriend,” then-19-year-old dancer on his tour, Sheryl Goddard. Wagner recalls thinking Cooper was “crazy not to allow himself to be seduced.” When Cooper and Wagner played golf at the Doral Country Club the next day, Welch even popped up and pleaded with Cooper, “Can I be your caddy? Please . . . ” Cooper, “made a rather boisterous exit . . . to the clubhouse.” The rocker later married Goddard, who’s still his wife. We’re told Wagner will sign his tome Wednesday at the East 86th Street Barnes & Noble, and on Saturday in Ridgewood, NJ, after being a guest of honor at “Rock of Ages.”
