How does the notion of Sir Ozzy Osborne grab you? A 45-year-old Black Sabbath fan in the UK is petitioning the gummint to knight him. According to a UPI story, one has to have made “... significant contributions to national life” in order to qualify. Dunno if Mr. Osborne qualifies, depending on what nationality they're talking about. The nation of Great Britain? The empire of Rock n' Roll? The state of confusion?
I actually know next to nothing about the man, but I think the UK should go for it. How many knights of the realm do they have, anyway, who are rumored to bite the heads off bats? Who have had their own lexically incomprehensible reality show?(1) Who have appeared briefly in a commercial, saying "What's a Bieber?" I mean, if this doesn't constitute significant contributions to something or other, what does?
(1) Now if we had knighthoods over here in the US, there'd be plenty of those to choose from.
