Ozzy was a great one. My six year old loves ozzys music. He was sad at the news.

In light of Jimmy Swaggart also recently passing

He has attention deficit disorder and from what I understand from Sharon's words on a recent Howie Mandell interview he was all over the place all the time.

He didn't have a drivers license until he was 60! Took him19 times to pass the test. He really was just an overgrown child.

One of the greatest. I’m glad I was able to see him twice.

Same here, I saw him twice in Portland, Me, he was one of the greatest frontmen ever, RIP OZZY!!!
He will be missed, what a character he was, hope he's having drinks with Lemmy, Randy Rhodes & all the others we lost too soon.

I had all the albums but played the snot out of my Speak of the Devil cassette in the 80s. Loved them all. I’m getting old.

I was at a bluegrass academy/festival when I heard the news. Just kinda carried it around as I didn't want to be a downer to everyone. Played Planet Caravan and then mentioned Ozzy's passing to a banjoist acquaintance who ripped into a killer version of Crazy Train! One fond memory from about 1989 was going to listen to some older burnout guys' (they wanted my older brother to join them on bass) jam and getting to sing Mr Crowley with them. It was f*n awesome.

I have always loved Sabbath and Ozzy and was discussing (in about 1998) with a pretty strong Catholic friend about how his lyrics are so deeply Christian in spirit - despite the "dark" persona.... probably mostly marketing folks' ideas.

Ozzy will live on through his music Eternally!!! Have fun up there with Randy - who was taken away much too soon. I bet Oz was up/over there crying on Randy's shoulder when they reunited.
