Am I the only person who fondly recalls Black Sabbath members who didn't have as much of a problem with animal cruelty?

[cweese]

Yeah, where was the boycott when Ozzy was chewing bats heads off during concerts?

Purveyor od musical bad taste joins assault on good tasting chicken.

"Get the bleepin' chicken off of the bleepin' dinner table!"

[Phantom Lord]

Hardee's chicken is far better anyway.

[contemplator]

They are drugged and bred to grow so large that many become crippled from the weight of their massive upper bodies

Whether or not this is the way to treat animals aside, KFC's chicken is so fatty and greasy as to make it inedible.

"What do Geezer Butler, the long-time bassist of heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath"


Is that the guy with 4 fingers? If he is, he is a really cool bass player..of course that doesn't mean he has good sense.

"Bobby and Geezer join fellow musicians Emmylou Harris, Paul McCartney, and Chrissie Hynde in supporting PETA’s "Kentucky Fried Cruelty" Campaign."

I can see all those people pulled up at the drive-thru in their limos. They don't eat there so, like the good liberals they are, they don't want you to either.

[counterpunch]

No kidding.
Ozzy would bite the head off of a live chicken, and now Geezer won't even eat a deep fried one?
I guess he's finally earned his name.

Does this mean he's no longer "Iron man"?

[Phantom Lord]

The truth is that Ozzy never bit the head off a chicken. He did however bite the head off a dove at a meeting with company execs.

The chicken rumor comes for an occurance at a concert where a fan actually brought a chicken to concert smuggled in his clothes and during the show threw it up on stage. Ozzy, not knowing that chickens couldn't fly, picked it up and threw it out over the crowd thinking it would fly away. It fell into the crowd and the crowd tore it apart.

So are they going to put a band together and call it Black PETA?

[presidio9]

Ooooo-Kaaaaaay....

But did he ever bite the head off a bat?

I now understand why Pam Anderson is so upset by their plight.

That was Alice Cooper.

[MeanWestTexan]

I recall an interview that he did.

I think in San Antonio for some reason.

[Phantom Lord]

He did once. He tought it to be a fake bat, but it was a real one. At the end of the show they rushed him to the hospital to get rabbies shots.

[Rastus]

"As God is my witness, I thought chickens could fly."

[Phantom Lord]

You are correct. I get the two confused from time to time. Which is pretty easy to do.

[bubman]

You would think there are other more pressing issues that he could have worked for.

homelessness, abortion, racism, etc.
