Ozzy

he held on just long enough to raise $190M for Parkinson's research... what a legend.

Ah, man, did I jinx him?

Glad it’s for a good cause

tool and guns n' roses have been added to the bill.  for fans of classic heavy music, this might be one of the greatest lineups of all time

Amazing that all four guys are still alive. And I mean just in general actuary terms; they old.

Learned a new word from the poster: compère

that a man lives to 76 is a little above average, but not uncommon.

that a man like Ozzy lived to 76, given his life, is absolutely mind-blowing.

not that i want to jinx him but the crown is now firmly seated on keith richards' head.

Ozzy Osbourne visited my magic shop. He said he'd like to buy some stink bombs. How many? All of them. I had to go through drawers finding every last one. He bought 900 of them. To sign the credit card slip I handed him a shock pen, which he thought was hilarious and bought that too. RIP

Also, this was my introduction to Ozzy. As he was leaving some girls ran into the store and got his autograph and then they told me who he was. He was in Boston for OzzFest and they were going that night. I told them to bring gas masks. His kids came back in future years for more shock pens.

as a follow-up she posted a link to this

The night Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne threw stink bombs at fellow rock stars

i'd post a link but's a UK news site with 900 ads on it.

78.6 is the male life expectancy for the UK.

My introduction to Ozzy was probably on the news during Suicide Solution trial. Or a counselor at camp who looked like he ‘did drugs’ wearing an Ozzy t-shirt. 

Then I saw Ozzy with Black Sabbath on the Live Aid broadcast. One of the first acts. It was incredible.  I must have rewatched it on Betamax a hundred times. 

Kind of epitomized apparent contradictions of Ozzy.  Here he is singing about apocalypse and psychosis looking like a 1985 grandma who flew in from Boca to Westchester for her grandson’s Bar Mitzvah . . .but it’s just totally empowering and life-affirming . . .the Prince of Darkness backed by the heaviest of heavy bands . . .and it’s a sunny summer morning in Philly . . .but the vibe is somehow perfect.  Completely insane but completely in control. And the crowd totally won over. Nevermind they hadn’t played together in 6+ years and barely rehearsed and less than sober

Thank you Charlie Daniels for cancelling your show that I won tickets to, allowing for Ozzy to instead be my first concert ever; Bark at the Moon Tour, April 5, 1983.
