As if angry golfers and police officers weren't enough, now Salt Lake City's mayor must contend with angry head-bangers.
While Mayor Deedee Corradini was preparing for what may be a raucous City Council budget meeting Tuesday night, her office was deluged by angry fans of heavy metal star Ozzy Osbourne, who will make his final Salt Lake appearance June 21.Nathan MacDonald, producer of the morning show at KBER radio, had asked city officials if the mayor could give Osbourne a key to the city.
But Thom Dillon, Corradini's executive assistant, said the mayor stared blankly at him when he asked about the request. Not only was her mind on other things, she had never heard of Ozzy Osbourne.
"When I told her that Ozzy's most notable act was to bite the heads off of live chickens on stage, she was sure she didn't want to give him the key to the city," Dillon said, adding the city doesn't have any keys.
