While the internet indulges in tributes and memorials to Ozzy Osborne, I want to reach into the vault and remember Ozzy for the moment when he was his most Ozziest.
It was February 19th, 1982. Ozzy was in San Antonio. He was very drunk. So he did what any Ozzy would do. He put on his wife's dress, went out, and urinated on the Alamo Cenotaph, the marble and granite memorial to the men that died at the Alamo.

One more reason I don’t mourn his death.
Not sure of why he had such a following, not my cup of tea in any way shape or form.
His voice was pretty good, songs were pretty good. Actions not singing, pretty awful.
From what I've read about him this last year, he had reformed a lot and was working on, I guess, rescuing his soul.
I'll let The Big Guy decide on his final fate.
Thank you for posting this. Many do not know this. I sent it to all that I could. Thanks again.
I have all the albums, most unopened. Not the kind of music I like to sit down & listen to. Can't have a rock & roll album collection without Black Sabbath.
I don't think it was intentional. Ozzy was a total alcoholic at the time. He passed out in the early hours of the morning and his then girlfriend Sharon woke up first and removed all the alcohol from the room and then his clothes so he couldn't leave the room to find a bar. Ozzy came to with a roaring hangover, desperate for a drink and since the only clothing he could find was Sharon's, he made do.
I doubt that Texas history is on the school syllabus in England so Ozzy probably had no knowledge of the Alamo.
