"Former District Attorney Ossie Brown led a campaign in 1982 against rock concerts in Baton Rouge after the drunken exploits of an overzealous crowd at an AC/DC concert in the River Center was publicized.Brown convinced the Metro Council to pass a prohibitive tax on large music productions, which applied to concerts in the PMAC and the River Center and crippled the ability of local venues to be attractive options for national production companies."

LMAO, no mention of Brown banning Ozzie for being demonic and for biting heads off of bats. BR ended up black balled as a result. Ozzie would eventually book a show at the Fair Grounds in 1980 with Blue Oyster Cult, Leroux & Vandenberg. Damn Ossie cost me my chance at seeing Randy Rhoads.
