I felt pretty sure Ozzy would not last long after his final show a few weeks ago. It felt like the most glorious funeral since Elvis’ died. Ozzy and his music were a mainstay for us all through time. We went to a few Ozzfests and enjoyed watching Ozzy in his reality show. His music appeared on a lot of playlists over the years. But my best memory was leaving a wrestling match in Kansas and BMF flying down one of those flat straight highways they have in Kansas at 120 MPH. He cranked up Sabbath’s “War Pigs” and “Iron Man” and Ozzy’s voice screamed down that lonely highway. All windows down, a little bit drunk and laughing and kissing the whole way back. I’ll never forget this moment in time. We should have died but we didn’t.
Here’s a replay of just one of BMF’s many Ozzy posts on MusicFilter. Love to Ozzy’s family. I’m glad he’s lost his pain.
