Just seen all over fb and even got a email from a news outlet Ozzy passed away today. 

If there was a Mt. Rushmore of Metal, Ozzy’s face would be on it. 
 

RIP to a legend. 

Just found out too… wonder if Don McLean will do a remake of American pie talking about the day the music died…

RIP Ozzy.  One of the greats.

 

Legend

RIP.... 

One heck of a entertainer RIP 

The Crazy Train has reached the station.

He was an integral part of my youth.  LEGEND!  100 years from now we'll still be blasting his music and 100 years from now we'll still be trying to figure out what the heck he was saying every time he was interviewed.  

 

 

Also, if you liked him at all, I highly recommend you read I Am Ozzy.  Truly entertaining read.

Momma I’m coming home 

We had a stereo console. I asked for Black Sabbath Vol 4 for Chrismas when it was released. I  got it and played part of it Christmas morning. Dad made me turn that noise off. I had to play it when he wasnt home.

Sad week of passings - Malcom Jamal Warner (Theo on Cosby), Ozzy, Hulk Hogan, and Chuck Mangione.

And Connie Francis (87 years old when she passed.

I saw this am on the today show that Ozzy was the first (and maybe only) recipient of some kind of chipotle something. He got a card from Chipotle for a free meal every day of the year. 

Ozzy kept a great sense of humor to the very end. Some years ago, decades even? Ozzy was asked if he listened to new music like maybe Justin Beiber as an example the journalist suggested. Ozzy's response is classic. I bring this up because of Ozzy's final wishes ties into it all these years later...

 

(I am displaying link only because the title contains Ozzy language and we gotta keep it family rated) Ozzy went from who the heck is Justin Beiber to playing Justin Beiber at his funeral was his first choice for everyone and one can only wonder why? Ozzy humor to the very end.

And just published is Ozzy's final funeral/memorial wishes:

 

“I honestly don’t care what they play at my funeral; they can put on a medley of Justin Bieber, Susan Boyle and We Are the Diddymen if it makes ’em happy,” he said at the time. “But I do want to make sure it’s a celebration, not a mope-fest.”

 

“I’d also like some pranks: maybe the sound of knocking inside the coffin; or a video of me asking my doctor for a second opinion on his diagnosis of ‘death.’ There’ll be no harping on the bad times.”

 

“If I can’t continue doing shows on a regular basis, I just want to be well enough to do one show where I can say, ‘Hi guys, thanks so much for my life,’” he told the outlet.

 

“That’s what I’m working towards, and if I drop down dead at the end of it, I’ll die a happy man.”

The rocker’s wish came true on July 5 when he took to the stage for the final time..."

I do like the Ozzy pranking idea of knocking coming from inside his coffin though. That one has worked in the past.
