RIP Ozzy Nothing more needs to be said Thank you for the decades of great music .

I think I've mentioned before that I was a metalhead since the NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, for the uninitiated) in the late 70's.  So I was hugely saddened by Ozzy's death because he's ALWAYS been there since I became a fan of rock music. And now he's gone.

Yes, I loved the Sabbath stuff but I liked his solo stuff even better, rarely a bad album.

It wasn't unexpected that he passed away and thank goodness he went out on a high, headlining a massive festival in front of a stadium full of adoring fans.  And at the second biggest money-raising charity concert since Live Aid!   :D

RIP, fine Sir.

 
... but at what point does it stop being CPR and start being like trying to reanimate a corpse?

HMHB paid tribute to Ozzy on Friday by having "Black Sabbath" as their walk-on music.
