I was unable to find any more information about this but traditionally a key to a city is presented as a way to honor or thank a person or group for the good they have done for the city so this is really cool. Congrats guys!!!

Justin Furstenfeld from Blue October Interview October 2011 by XtinaT

Detroit Live Magazine has posted a beautiful article reporting on the interview they did with Justin while they were in Detroit for the Any Man In America Tour.
With his angry honest songs, black make-up, painted fingernails, and deep and dark art including poetry and painting, I really had no clue what this interview would hold. Would he be a bitter, dark man, full of scorn and hatred? Would he treat us like any other journalist and photographer, getting us in and out as soon as possible? Would he speak quickly and shortly? Would he hardly speak at all?
I will tell you what I found when I met Justin. I found a man who has more passion and love for his daughter than one could possibly imagine. I found a man, who is a bit tormented, a bit angry, a bit bitter, but a good man, a man with a huge heart who just wants to see his daughter.
I sat on the couch next to Justin and through the entire interview he opened up his chest, took out his heart, and laid it on the table. He spoke honestly, intelligently, and openly about his new album, his beautiful little girl, and his current struggles. At times Justin spoke perhaps a little too honestly and out of my pure respect for him, I am leaving out parts in which would be taken the wrong way by the wrong people. I will tell you one thing though, nothing he said was malicious, hateful, or even rude, but with the sensitive situation he is in, certain statements will be omitted from this article. I will log the most important things Justin said and try and reflect the best I can his truest emotions and feelings.
