10 Biggest WTF Moments In '80s Rock Music

3. Ozzy Pees On The Alamo

Taking a hard swerve back towards the ridiculous now, let's examine another man who, like Keith Richards, has lived far longer than anyone expected him to.

John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne is easily one of the most infamous musical artists of all time. His life has been dogged with enough scandal to fill the pages of a dozen books; his exploits making him a demon to some and an idol to others.

One of his most iconic (if you want to use that word) misdemeanours went down in February 1982 in San Antonio, Texas. Ozzy was out on the town and needed to relieve himself. So, he decided to do his business the country way and pee up against a wall.

Little did he know that what he was actually urinating on was a memorial dedicated to soldiers who died in the Battle of the Alamo.

Because Americans take things like this very seriously, Osbourne was arrested and banned from the city for ten entire years.

Oh, and did we mention that all this took place whilst he was wearing a dress he'd borrowed from SHARONNNNNN?

What a guy.
