• [OT] Ozzie Osborne has died

    From Rhino@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 22 15:51:12 2025
    I don't actually have a link to a newspaper article yet. I just stumbled
    on a live stream about his death but it's ending so maybe wait a few
    minutes and they'll hopefully leave it so that it can be replayed....

    On a personal note, I definitely appreciated Black Sabbath back in the
    day. I've got the first four albums and still listen to them on occasion
    (via YouTube) and appreciate them.

    I've never pretended to understand Ozzy as a person or what drove him.
    His slurred speech always made him seem massively impaired every time I
    saw an interview with him - or a clip from his reality show - but he
    couldn't have lived this long if he was *that* drunk/stoned could he so
    maybe he wasn't actually as wasted as he seemed. But you can't deny that
    he made a memorable front man, both of Black Sabbath and of his solo band.

    R.I.P. Ozzy!

    If Ozzy Osborne can make it to 76, then I think anyone can!!


    Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones would be another I would point
    to. Man is 81 years old and looks to be about 200 but is still going.

    Except he was pickled from the inside by all that booze in his twenties
    ... and thirties, and fourties, and fifties, and sixties, and
    seventies. ;-)

    Mick Jagger is said to spend even more time than RIchards in his
    personal gym (imagine if he walked into a commercial gym!), I did a
    quick Google search and Jagger's 82nd birthday is on July 26th.

    Which doesn't surprise me since Jagger has done some fairly physical performances.

    I hope I can be this active when I'm 80+ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGyOaCXr8Lw
