Rockers pour out 'Spinal Tap' stories." New York Daily News. 18 Mar. 2005.
Ozzy Osbourne remembers when he lost his patience with the midget Black Sabbath hired for a tour. "He showed up late, he drank....It got to me after awhile. So, one night, when he wanted to get on the tour bus, I threw him in the luggage compartment.
Somebody grabbed me and said: 'What you're doing is not only illegal but it's inhumane.'
"I lost it. I yelled: 'He's my [bleeping] midget and I'll [bleeping] do what I want with him.' There was a silence and then a small voice emerged from the luggage compartment: 'He's right: I'm his midget and he can do what he wants with me.'"
Sorry, I just had to post about this because it was a strange story dealing with midgets. But hey, if we can stuff mail-order brides from Southeast Asia in suitcases to smuggle back to the West, why can't we cram the little people inside baggage compartments? They're smaller and probably could fit quite comfortably between bags.
