40-year anniversary: Ozzy chomps on a live bat

It's almost too much to believe, but Ozzy Osbourne did in fact bite the head off a live bat during a show in Des Moines on January 20th, 1982. A fan threw the animal on stage, where it lay motionless, stunned from the lights. Ozzy thought it was a rubber toy and played along, chomping down. After the show, he was treated for rabies! For the 40th anniversary, let's stick to the music... we're featuring Ozzy on these channels.
