• I know it's probs a bit tasteless to say this, and I do not know if it was entirely Heck's doing, but by having the Sabberf farewell gig happen at Villa Park, with the gigantic worldwide coverage, and prior to that, hitching Ozzy to the  Villa bandwagon (the shirt launch last year), plus stuff like the tifo - even though we all know he didn't care too much about football - someone at the club has absolutely pulled a blinder.
  
  They obviously didn't know he was going to pass away quite so quickly, but it feels like the club, with the concert and even the funeral today, has all of a sudden found a deep source of cultural relevance.
  
  And the city, even more so.

• Of course, we don't know for certain that the club didn't kill him.

• It’s a massive pity the Council just don’t get the global cultural impact of things like this. Sabbath and Tolkien both spring to mind.

• I think they do, even if they haven't always. But they're skint.

• Some kind of monument/plaque to mark Black Sabbath's final gig would be fitting. If The Warehouse is aiming to be a top music venue, it would be brilliant to site such a monument nearby.

• The Council are pathetic at capitalising on popular culture. Another example would be Digbeth. One of the UK’s most vibrant and diverse areas, but BCC haven’t supported it or promoted it in any way.

  The Crown and Station Street as a whole is our biggest missed sitter as a city.
  
  A beautiful hotel, the UK’s first repertory theatre, the UK’s oldest working cinema (in the city that invented celluloid) and the de facto birthplace of heavy metal all on a small street twenty yards from one of the busiest railway stations in the country, and they haven’t got a clue how to exploit it.

• Surely a black and purple away kit next season is the logical move. Keeps those tills ringing…
