Ozzy Osbourne to Apologize for Peeing on Alamo Cenotaph
According to San Antonio District 1 Councilman Roberto Trevino, Ozzy Osbourne will visit the Alamo today and apologize for urinating on the Alamo Cenotaph in 1982. This news was revealed during a downtown San Antonio forum last night.
The apology will be filmed for a segment set to appear on a new History Channel program starring Ozzy and his son Jack.
In order to keep the spectacle at a controllable level, Trevino refused to specify what time Ozzy, Jack and their History Channel crew would be visiting the Alamo.
During an interview with Billboard late last month, Osbourne provided some details about the show: “Jack and I are doing a thing for the History Channel, like a father and son spoof on history. We went to Stonehenge and met a guy who thinks he’s the fucking reincarnation of King Arthur. And we went to Bletchley Park to see the machine [Alan Turing] used to break the [German] kind. We’re going to Mount Rushmore, to the abandoned silos where America used to have their Minutemen missiles and all that. It’s educational for me, actually – history with an Osbourne slant.”
As history goes, an intoxicated Osbourne urinated on the Alamo Cenotaph in 1982 ahead of a performance at the HemisFair Arena. Naturally, he was arrested afterwards.
“His heart is bigger than his body. He’s just a great person…and beyond funny,” said guitarist Zakk Wylde of Osbourne during a 2014 interview with Riffyou.com. “If you hang out with him for five minutes, you’ll be laughing your balls off. He makes fun of himself all of the time and takes the piss out of everything else.”
