Winnipeg has the Guess Who. Toronto has Rush, and Belleville has Lee Aaron.

Clearly, all these cities are proud of their homespun heroes of rock. But probably not quite the same head-banging, all-the-way-to-eleven way the city of Birmingham, England, is.

Black Sabbath is huge, and metal is huge.   - City councillor Philip Parkin

Birmingham is the home of the metal icons, Black Sabbath,  and city councillor Philip Parkin wants city council to adopt 'Black Sabbath Day.' Mr. Parkin is trying to convince  fellow councillors to vote in favour of a civic day honouring the band.

Personally, I think, why not?

Who would you like to see recognized with their own civic day?

Would you , for example, make the pilgrimage to Belleville, Ontario for Metal Queen Day in honour of Lee Aaron?
