Last night I was told a very well known singer around for decades had passed and tried to guess before they told me who it was, I ran off Cliff first, then Rod, Elton, and Jagger before being told Ozzy, which shocked me considering only last week I was reading about his triumphant farewell gig.

One thing I love about people such as Ozzy Osbourne, and Alice Cooper too, and even John Lydon, is that behind this big flamboyant and sometimes fierce image they cultivate they are just decent solid good people in the end underneath it all, and that makes them even greater still in my view.[/quote]

Green Man	Wyot wrote: Black Sabbath wrote some original pioneering great music. Music Iommi and lyrics Butler. Then there was Ozzy. I personally was no fan of his voice or solo stuff; but he was so enthusiastic on stage. Nice to hear JK that the sweet soul he seemed in interviews etc reflected the real man. RIP Ozzy. Great sentiments Wyot.
hedda	He always came across as good fun and a very nice person. Nice to hear that he was a pal of yours JK.
JK2006	Me as The Pope introducing Ozzy at some gig years ago. www.kingofhits.co.uk/component/option,co...,64/?g2_itemId=18154
JK2006	I remember noticing at Ozzy gigs that the kids who at every other concert raised their arms upright in the air, for Ozzy reached out towards him as he bumbled around on stage. And during my many meals and meetings with him and Sharon I found them both genuinely warm and lovely human beings.
