RIP Ozzy Osbourne

[Dan Murphy]

I was a bit too old to 'appreciate' heavy metal. Not my cup of tea. But that genre of music was very in vogue when Vince was in his late teens, early 20's and still at home. And he played it in his bedroom. Too loud. I called his heavy metal stuff, his 'angry music'. All (most) of the songs sounded like everybody was screaming and angry. Still sounds that way to me. And I think he still listens to that kind, I'll hear it sometimes at his house.

Anyway, I never followed or listened to Ozzy, but do know of him. I never watched his 'reality' show. But may he now rest in peace. A tough life I guess.

I find it so amazing how so many musicians were so heavy into drugs, like Ozzy and Keith Richards plus many others have manage to live as long they did and have. I don't know if he had a tough life or not, but I doubt he remembered most of it. Anyway, RIP Ozzy and condolences to his family.
