Alice? Where the f**k is Alice?
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver May 16th, 2006

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...
