This Day In Metal History

REMEMBER THE ALAMO!!!

28 years ago today on February 19, 1982, Ozzy Osbourne was arrested after a police officer discovered the legendary rock star urinating on a cenotaph across the street from The Alamo– a monument that stands for all things Texan– while wearing his future wife’s dress.

I can remember when I started listening to Ozzy around 1983 or so my dad saying, “Isn’t that the guy that pee’d on the Alamo?”  See, even back then Ozzy was proving to the world that there’s no such thing as bad press; even if that bad press is you pissing on the Alamo.  I guess you can say that Ozzy left his mark in more ways than one.

I have been running this blog since 2009. AKA as the Great Southern Brainfart, Southeast of Heaven is my baby now and forever. I’ve had my ups and downs with bands over the years but they are all great experiences and memories. My Swedish friend Charlie said once, “Don is known for being one of the meanest bastards in American rock journalism.” It’s nice to be loved.

I also once took a shit in Anthrax’s dressing room toilet and didn’t flush.
