The NBA lockout is hurting business at [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Alice Cooper[/lastfm]‘s Cooper’stown restaurant in Phoenix…

Via ABC 15: Alice’s restaurant (sounds like an old [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Arlo Guthrie[/lastfm] song) is located across the street from the U.S. Airways Center, home of the Phoenix Suns. Manager Ryan Rowland says they’ve already lost thousands of dollars, and if the season is canceled, that figure could surpass half-a-million dollars.

Cooper recently hosted an episode of the U.K. comedy game show Never Mind The Buzzcocks.

Cooper wraps up his European tour with shows tonight in St. Petersburg, Russia and Saturday in Moscow. Another North American leg gets under way on November 26th in Michigan. ~JZ.
