Another one gone

[LMichaels]

Just found out Ozzy Osbourne has passed away

Yeah me too.
I was never really a fan of his music but I’ve always viewed him decent guy and a family man.
Rest in peace Ozzy.

Like a lot of his stuff. Recall number of years ago, I'd given my oldest daughter a car and we all (she, an exchange student from Germany we had, myself and youngest daughter) piled into the car with oldest driving. The German girl had brought along some Ozzy CDs and they all commented "dad wouldn't like the music so play something else". Well the collective jaws hit the floor when I chimed in "Of course I like Ozzy". Then my "cool factor" went up many points in their eyes

I can't remember if it was Paranoid or Iron man that I first heard on am radio WLS.

 

[Wilmer Cogburn]

My favorite band!

Sad day.

Glad his mates Tony, Geezer, and Bill worked it out for the recent show. I thought he did his best given his condition and I enjoyed it.

First listened to them in 1970 in Frankfurt AM West Germany on Armed Forces Network (AFN) radio.

I was a fan from the beginning days of Sabbath. Saw them in Houston with Van Halen as the opening band. Amazing show.

Saw him perform live in the summer of '84 as a solo act. Good show. No bats involved, well other than those that lived in the outdoor venue.....

We are all on the "Crazy Train", aren't we? Thanks for the good times and good music, Ozzy. You done good.

The only way to listen to Black Sabbath or Ozzy was to turn it up.....RIP Ozzy

Played _Diary of a Madman_ while I was making dinner. While not quite at Spinal Tap levels (not at 11,) a nice little subwoofer helped a bunch.

My first ever concert


Ozzy was part of the creation of a genre of music.

I'm reminded of the lines of Odysseus at the end of the movie "Troy": changed for this day

"If they ever tell my story let them say that I walked with giants. Men rise and fall like the winter wheat, but these names will never die. Let them say I lived in the time of the golden age of music . Let them say I lived in the time of Ozzy."

RIP.

 

[Tim Campbell]

He's one of the only people ever who was hard to understand while speaking, but held perfect clarity while singing. RIP to one of the greats.

Not a big follower of his music, but he was quite a character. Died just 17 days after the Black Sabbath farewell concert. Timing like that makes me wonder if he was just trying to hang on long enough to make that concert date.

I very much think that's spot-on. I truly think he meant "Farewell."

I sure would not bet against that. He sure was a character. The texting ad he was in a few years ago (ended with his therapist saying ".... that's very disturbing!") I found quite humorous.

This is just too good not to share...
