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.

RIP Terence Stamp, one of THE faces in Swingin' London back in the 60's (the dude even shared a flat with Michael Caine!) and a fine actor who never quite became A List status in subsequent decades despite being in many fine films.  Probably best known for being General Zod in Superman 2 or a trans person in Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert but he was also in a great thriller called The Limey in 1999 and had a really villainous part in 2021's Last Night In Soho, probably my fave film of this decade.
