Black Sabbath albums are still awesome. I also have his solo albums in my collection. I even have a shirt with Randy Rhoads on it.

R.I.P Ozzy.

I watched the live stream of the concert. It was an emotional event, both for the audience and the musicians, including Ozzy.

Well lived life.

He was definitively a force of nature. RIP and respect for the unique path he chose and was able to follow.

Black Sabbath Vol. 4 was my introduction to real metal. It changed my life. Ozzy was a legend.

A young Birmingham guy discovers Ozzy...:

....about two years after discovering Ozzy and having been to Ozzy's/Black Sabbath's last concert, he makes a really good documentary. I can recommend it:

Had to look for it, but still have it - Sad, good man, better than some of his immediate family, methinks.

RIP Ozzy, You were one of a kind and I doubt there will ever be another quite like you.
We traveled very similar roads at times and paid the price for our mis-adventures.
See ya on the other side.
