Today in rock history: On this date in 1982, former Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne was arrested in San Antonio, Texas after he publicly urinated on The Alamo. Osbourne happened to be wearing a woman’s dress at the time since his wife had hidden all of his clothes to ensure he wouldn’t go outside and run the risk of getting into trouble. Osbourne was initially banned from ever playing in the city of San Antonio, but the ban was lifted 10 years later.

Today in rock history: On this date in 1977, the U.K.’s Manfred Mann’s Earth Band scored a Billboard pop chart No. 1 with “Blinded By The Light,” a song written and originally recorded by Bruce Springsteen. Released as the first single from The Boss’ 1973 debut, Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J., Springsteen’s version made very little chart impact. One significant change in the song’s lyrics found Manfred Mann replacing Bruce’s original line “cut loose like a deuce” with “revved up like a deuce” which — much to the dismay of conservative radio listeners — was mistakenly heard as “wrapped up like a douche.” The song was a hit for the band in Canada and several other countries around the world, and it gave Springsteen his only No. 1 hit single as a songwriter.

Today in rock history: On this date in 1983, Kajagoogoo went No. 1 on British singles charts with “Too Shy,” a song produced by Duran Duran keyboardist Nick Rhodes. The video was a mainstay on MTV, and the hit delivered the U.K. new wave and pop group its U.S. chart debut, too. The band’s 1983 debut LP, White Feathers, was home to other European hits, but “Too Shy” is still Kajagoogoo’s most successful song.

Today in rock history: On this date in 1972, Harry Nilsson’s Grammy-nominated “Without You” — a song written and recorded by British pop band Badfinger — began a four-week run atop Billboard’s singles chart. The vocals for the American songwriter’s version were recorded in one take, and the single was the biggest hit of Nilsson’s career.
