Dennis Dunaway's Birth Card: The 9 of Clubs
The Humanitarian Builder
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.
In the record
Dennis Dunaway (born December 9, 1946) is an American musician, best known as the original bass guitarist for the rock band Alice Cooper. The birth-card coordinate for December 9 is the 9 of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 2011 Performers with Alice Cooper induction.

The 9 of Clubs coordinate
Dennis Dunaway's birthday maps to the 9 of Clubs (The Humanitarian Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame vote and not a verdict on Dennis Dunaway. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You let a used-up framework go and keep the part that still works.
Dennis Dunaway in the public record
He co-wrote some of the band's most notable songs, including "I'm Eighteen" and "School's Out". Dunaway's first bass was a short-scale Airline. This was used on Alice Cooper's debut album Pretties for You. The band's sophomore album, Easy Action, featured Dunaway playing a short-scale Höfner. Later, Dunaway procured a Gibson EB-0 short scale bass, modified with a Fender Precision Bass split pickup in the treble position, that he spray painted green and called "the frog". He can be seen with it on the back cover of the Love it to Death album. Dunaway used this bass exclusively in the making of the original Alice Cooper group's first three albums. It currently is on loan to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Where the record meets the 9 of Clubs
A card is a calendar coordinate, not a cause. What follows sets one line of the card's own published language beside one sentence of the sourced record, paired by a documented rule. It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about Dennis Dunaway, and not a forecast of induction.

Birth card from the month and day. Karma cards are fixed to the birth card. The planetary ruling card comes from the sun sign's ruling planet — the signs with two rulers carry two. The Life Spread is the birth card's fixed row of nine in the Life Spread — the cards that colour each 52-day period for life. Planetary period and long-range cards move year by year and are not shown on a static page.
