He's lead one of the most interesting lives of any musician out there. You think of the most prolific artists in history .... Led Zeppelin were only together for 12 or so years, Jimi Hendrix was big for about 8 or 9 .... Ozzy has been part of the biggest Metal bands for the last 40 years and is still writing great music.
His story is ridiculous. He's the grandfather of Heavy Metal. He truly has lead a life of sex, drugs and rock n roll ... and somehow is still living!
We've all watched at least one episode of The Osbournes ... and I'm sure we all agree that Ozzy may be mentally handicapped. Lets just remember, the four years they shot that show ... Ozzy was either drunk or stoned in every episode. (this came out a couple months ago after he claimed to be sober for the entire duration of the show)
Am I saying Ozzies life is awesome and I wish I could be like him ... not even a little bit. It's a sad story really. But, there are things we could learn from the Prince of Darkness ... He's got 7 children ... 5 biological and 2 adopted. Yes he's been in two marriages, but the one with Sharon has lasted 25 years! That's incredible and mind boggling when you consider the life he's led. Obviously he's doing something right for his family.
I really think this new documentary his son Jack is producing will be a good watch. He's trying to depict his father as the man he really is instead of the senile, funny, bumbling guy everyone saw on The Osbournes. Check out the trailer.
