Ozzy

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.

Black Flag:Who’s Got The 10 1/2?

A BMF Review from February 3, 2016

This album did make BMF’s 28 Must Have Albums.

My favorite live album by far, this was recorded “on a starry night in Portland on August 23rf, 1985.”

This is punk rock in every sense of the word. The music and Henry’s volatile voice rage. The songs are perfectly played with on the spot improvising that are pure punk. Of course, the question, the album title, is the apex of the set during Slip it in and Gimme Gimme Gimme which is another favorite song on here, My War is awesome, Bastard in love, oh hell the whole album kicks ass! I wore this cassette out back in the day. Have it on cd too.

Other great snippets; ” Do you believe in the hereafter? Then you now know what I’m here after.” “Here’s a song about drinking and driving, it’s called ‘drinking and driving’”. All the songs are memorable and smashing awesome. This album is in my top ten of some list. This came with a folded SST records catalog, which I always love to look at.#57bmf4ever

As a matter of fact it’s BMF’s birthday.

Born August 5, 1968 – Flew away April 24, 2016.

Thats right he’s frozen in time, but he would have enjoyed this day. He is loved and missed and he left us with a lot of him to enjoy and share. Here’s his 2008 podcast broadcasting The Cramps doing “Can your pussy do the dog?” He is very exuberant. Love hearing you baby! Cha-Cha-Cha! #57bmf4ever

~just a little note to say I had not logged into Reverbnation in a long time and got a email today at 7:57 asking “What’s going on with Dew?”, adding nicely to use it or lose it. I got your 57s all day long. ;)~mc
