Today's Under The Covers is Ozzy covering "Purple Haze" originally by Jimi Hendrix

Why? Well on this day in 1982, you might remember the legendary story of Ozzy urinating on the Alamo.  His wife Sharon, thought if she hid all of his clothes that he wouldn't leave the hotel in his drunken stuper, but not to be bamboozled, Ozzy just put on one of Sharon's dresses and headed out for a night on the town.  He found himself at the Alamo and well, when you gotta go, you gotta go.  The residents of San Antonio, Texas were not amused, and Ozzy was banned from performing in their city.  The ban was lifted in 1992.
