Ozzy Osbourne goes to Texas to apologize for peeing on The Alamo

The piss that pissed off all of Texas will finally be forgiven.
Yes, Ozzy’s legendary Texas tinkle on the Alamo Cenotaph (one that got him banned from San Antonio for a decade) is now something the metal icon will formally say sorry for. Ozzy and his son Jack will be at the monument today as part of a show they’re taping for the History Channel.
“We did get a call,” said District 1 Councilman Roberto Treviño. “Certainly, as a city, we feel very, very good about his efforts to come to our great city and apologize for the actions of a not-so-sober person.”
Ozzy urinating on the Alamo’s 60-foot high statue is the sort of story held up as an impressive feat of fucked-up rock god debauchery. In 1982, Ozzy was arrested for peeing on the historic site and was dressed in the clothes of his future wife Sharon while doing so. Why? All his clothes were taken away so his super drunk ass wouldn’t venture outside. Obviously, that strategy did not pan out.
Hopefully this apology will keep Ozzy on Phil Collins’ Christmas card list.
