Words can’t possibly describe what a huge part of my life Ozzy has been for the last 45 years or so. Actually embarrassing the large chunk of my life spent listening and watching everything the man has ever done. I’m sure I average 20 plus hours per week listening to his entire, vast catalog.
I feel like the people who think of Ozzy and immediately think of “the bat” or the tv show have missed out on four and a half decades of great music. Everything from Blizzard to Patient Number Nine and everything in between has brought me countless hours of enjoyment.
I hope his career continues after July 5th with another album. In the meantime there is 45 years worth of excellence for all of us to enjoy. I just hope that if I end up in a home some day in the future that the rest of the oldsters are ok with listening to Ozzy all day long.
And one of the best covers of all time:
Joe Walsh
Turn To Stone
Meadows
Rocky Mountain Way
Ha! I didn't know about half of these.
Thank you for posting.
Recall a tribute album, which I assume was "If I Were a Carpenter."
WillShonen Knife & Sonic Youth covers.
And Paisley doesn't even drink,
