The eyes of the (rock) world turned to Birmingham last Friday as the prince of darkness (or what’s left of him) Ozzy Osbourne unveiled his inaugural star on the “Walk of Fame” along Broad street. It was a crazy train of emotion when Ozzy mumbled something into the microphone, had a mild seizure, and then posed as this brilliantly executed marketing move for Birmingham kicked off. You can see from the full article that the notoriety of Birmingham’s stars fall off pretty fast after Ozzy. His might be the only star on the nascent walk that anyone recognizes, but hey, a second-rate “Hollywood style” walk of fame is just another great reason to visit this city of the arts!
