Not quite. They got together as part of the advertising for the album and
became friends. They appeared on some award show to present with Boone
dressed in leather and studs. Alice was asked to dress like Boone but
thought it would be too cheesy and declined. It`s all advertising really.
They`re not close or anything.
As an aside, the reason some people could find the Alice/Boone ads odd is
that in the seventies, Boone slated Alice as being a bad influence (and all
that crap) and said in print something like he wouldn`t let his children see
such a deprived show or words to that effect.
Seems to have changed his mind now.
