1982: Ozzy Osbourne was arrested in San Antonio, Texas after he urinated on the Alamo. He was wearing a dress at the time of his arrest, (because his wife Sharon hid all his clothes so he couldn't go outside). Ozzy Osbourne who apparently thought he was relieving himself on a pile of rubble was banned from playing in San Antonio, Texas ever again. This ban was canceled in 1992.
1994: Mariah Carey scored her first UK No.1 hit with the song 'Without You', a song by Peter Ham Tom Evans. In 1972, Nilsson took this song to the No.1 spot and her version to this song was released on January 24, 1994, just over a week after Nilsson had died following a heart attack. Both Ham and Evans committed suicide, (Ham in 1975 and Evans in 1983) after an ongoing battle to receive royalties from the song.
