RIP Ozzy, the world is a little less interesting without you in it. I purchased Paranoid the week it came out, a formative, and transformative, experience. Ozzy was certainly in the delivery room when heavy metal was born.

Black Sabbath's early music was a perfect accompaniment for us 'freaks' back in the day. And 'The Osbourns', so funny yet so real to life. RIP Ozzy, you will be missed!

I was 13 when the first Black Sabbath album was released and the uproar (yes uproar) that that caused. I remember letters to the editor of 'Hit Parader' magazine debating if their music was too dangerous for 13 year-olds.   And here we are, honoring his passing as though a head of state passed away.  Pretty f'n amazing.
