This is lovely ...







... and in case this doesn't work in the US of A ...





From the credits of his new CD, he lost his mother comparatively recently (he is himself verging on 70) and took the Sabbath song (initially written about drummer Bill Ward's split-up with his then wife) as solace.

Ozzy's voice is so unique, it transcends musical borders.

We'll build a yuuuge wall to keep Ozzy out. And we'll make him pay for it.

Ozzy is not a perfect man, but his hair is much better (though the color is similar in this vid below). And he's not afraid of wimmin smarter than him, he even marries them!

For some unknown reason, my country band a few years back decided that "Changes" fit on our songlist.  The rhythm guitarist did it solo on the piano.

uwe, you are right , i don't like classic rock. being of a certain age i was hearing this music before it became classic. enough is too much. :bored:

on a related note, blues is not my favorite music genre either. :o

Thank you, my sentiments exactly, I have the three CDs too, haven't seen him live yet, but saw a live show of his on German TV a few weeks ago. I first thought I had James Brown tribute before me, but then was captivated not just by his voice, but also by the music of his young band.
