1. Seems a bit sudden even despite his health. MAID?

   1. He was 76. People that age often die suddenly.

2. Black Sabbath _ Planet Caravan (1970)

   1. I wouldn’t dare post another BS song after that spectacular selection.

3. Bat Fever?

   1. Bat virus from the wet market

      1. One Bat Too Many.

4. He lived beyond expectations, the path he was on in his late 20s could have finished him off, if not for Sharon who saw thru the mess, instead saw the diamond in the rough. He owed his life, and career resurrection, to her.
   His last performance hinted at the fact he wasn’t very well at all. He wasn’t able to stand to perform, and frankly, he sounded winded too. His health has been in decline for some time.
   Some memorable songs, some “memorable” acts.
   He bit the head off a bat.
   He pissed on the Alamo monument.
   He made a star out of Randy Rhodes, who left us too quick.
   He was one of the pioneers of Heavy Metal, though BS wasn’t my cup of tea.
   Hope he made peace with his maker.

   1. He also bit the heads off of two doves, which is not nice.
      Ozzy and Sabbath were overrated, although I get their roll in early metal.
      I still recall being on acid and being revolted on hearing the intro to “iron man” on the first sabbath record.
      It helped me to ensure that any subsequent acid trips were accompanied by “Yes” albums.
      I kid, sort of…

5. When I was in University in the early ’70s we would hire the big bands of the day for our dances. Something that would be unfathomable to today’s kids.
   One of our dance nights featured Black Sabbath. We had the second largest stage in London, and it was covered with their towering amps. I can still feel the sound of Ozzy belting out Paranoid, among many others.
   Happy days.

   1. Unfathomable, for certain.

6. Alex Jones:
   “The iconic Ozzy Osbourne has died suddenly after years of illness which mysteriously started after getting vaccinated.

   The Black Sabbath lead singer cancelled concerts after experiencing blood clots in his legs, and had a filter placed in his artery to protect spread to his heart and brain.
   Ozzy was excited when he first got his shot. He’s now dead…
   Rest in peace Ozzy Osbourne”

   1. The number of friends and acquaintances I have, all vaccinated, who have fallen prey to the resurgence of Cancer previously in remission is mounting by the day.
