| Ozzy Osbourne's post-Sabbath solo career is the stuff of which urban legends are made: In 1981 he bit the head off a live dove during a meeting with Columbia Records executives; a few months later a concert-goer in Des Moines tossed what Osbourne assumed was a rubber bat onto the stage and discovered only after sinking his teeth into that it was the real thing; a year later he peed on the Alamo, incurring the wrath of San Antonio officials who banned him from the city. There have been fines and riots and several law suits (all unsuccessful) brought against Osbourne by parents alleging that his song "Suicide Solution" (actually a bitter-sweet remembrance of AC/DC frontman Bon Scott, who died of alcohol poisoning) inspired their teenagers to take their own lives. Yet for all the lurid B-movie trappings of his solo career Osbourne has proven to be a man of discriminating taste when it comes to the music itself. |
