Ozzy Osbourne Has Absolutely Bitten The Head Off Of Small Creatures
In March 1981, Ozzy was attending a meeting with his new label, and he was not exactly the most desirable artist. He’d been kicked out of Black Sabbath, and CBS had signed him for cheap, and his manager (later wife) Sharon thought that some sort of gesture of goodwill might endear him to the label. “I just remember this PR woman going on and on at me. In the end, I said, ‘Do you like animals?’ Then I pulled out one of these doves and bit its f—ing head off. Just to shut her up. Then I did it again with the next dove, spitting the head out on the table, and [the woman] fell on the floor screaming. That’s when they threw me out. They said I’d never work for CBS again.”
