And the answer? Some place in the large country we Brits like to call 'America'. Why is this even relevant to DiS? Well, get this: the mayor of said small town has given the key to the gaff to none other than Alice Cooper, simply because of the shared name. MENTAL.
About a thousand people showed up to see the rocker presented with his gold-plated key - no small achievement for a town with an alleged population of 60.
The town's mayor, Dan Lund, said:
"There's not a whole lot of buildings to unlock with that key, but Alice is a cool guy and Alice is a cool city - so it's a fun thing to do."
Lund was never into Cooper's music, though, saying: "He rocked a little too hard for me."
You're a PUSSY, Lund. A PUSSY.
DiScuss: Do Portishead have the keys to Portishead yet? Were Boston ever given the keys to Boston? Is there a band called Hull? Seriously, that place needs locking shut...
