Ozzy Osbourne has died

Howard: Ozzy, what are your thoughts around 9/11?
Ozzy: It was terrible; one of those things you'll always remember where you were and what you were doing when you first heard the news.
Howard: Where were you when you first heard about 9/11?
Ozzy: I can't bloody remember.
I'm sure it was staged, but it really hit the spot for me after all the tragedy of 9/11. RIP Ozzy.
I missed my chance to listen to Black Sabbath in 2015 or 2016 during the Rock am Ring because the last day was cancelled.
I'm happy for what Ozzy did in his sixties and seventies, and what a way to go.
And let's not forget, the most likely reason he's been able to get this far with his lifestyle post-80s and 90s is Sharon
RIP prince of darkness, you mad, mad bastard.
Two of my favorite Sabbath songs:
Zeitgeist, 2013 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ofrYzMU6cw Planet Caravan, 1970 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm2N2nHqITY
They invented so many things here, and Ozzy is the blueprint of a heavy metal singer hundreds of people copied decades to come after this one.
Changes. Saddest song of all time. Can't listen to it without crying. https://youtu.be/dOz_dLmpT9A
Don't miss the recent tribute of Mr. Crowley with Jack Black on vocals. It was truly awesome.

War Pigs is the most metal anti war song ever which is why the religious right hated it so much. Nothing to do with satanism, more about speaking truth to power. Still as relevant in 1970 as it is today.
To quote my favorite song of his:
I've seen your face a hundred times Everyday we've been apart And I don't care about the sunshine, yeah 'Cause mama, mama, I'm coming home
In other words, the average lifespan of a 10-year old boy is not 65.8 additional years.
But you’ll have chain smokers who live into their nineties.

RIP
I'd love to see a black bar on HN to celebrate the Prince of Darkness!
Never would have predicted that.
Last stop for the crazy train, see you on the other side!
Refuting it and saying there’s proof without actually providing it is…a challenge.
An aristocratic death
> It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis

Needless to say the title of the article seemingly has been reverse debunked.

In recent posts I see Brian Wilson (musician), Sly Stone (musician), Frederick Forsyth (author) and Michael Madsen (actor) all with over 50 points.
My question is, is it just not a big deal? If someone did that today, they’d be crucified in the courts of public opinion.
One could argue that it’s disrespectful to bring this up on his death thread, but, two points: one, I hope that people will bring up my mistakes when I pass, so that others can learn from it; and two, this is the only opportunity to talk about it, since Ozzy has rarely been a topic on HN.
Ozzy fans, can you help me understand why few people seem to care? It’s hard to wrap my head around the idea that someone can decapitate some animals with their own teeth and then still build a loyal following. Was he just that good at music?
I’m posting this from a place of curiosity, not malice, for what it’s worth.
EDIT: Even if the bat was a mistake, what about the doves? https://kiisfm.iheart.com/content/2022-01-24-theres-another-...
Turns out it was not rubber.
As for the rest. He was an icon. It's hard to see after the fact why something is revolutionary. Retrospectively it all seems obvious.
Like Newton and gravity, or calculus.
It doesn't look mind-blowing because everything that comes after it is influenced by it, and being first to start a new sound is only obvious if you look at the timeline.
The rest is more interesting though. Which new sound did he create? Again, asking in earnest.
He’s kinda been grandfathered in.
But it caused plenty of controversy back then too.
Then he rehabilitated his rep with the Osborne show where he was this messed up shuffling pity type figure.
So in short the culture changed but Ozzie changed with it and by then he was too fucked up to be cancelled.
Not claiming it’s rational but culture rarely is.
Additionally Ozzie claims he thought it was a fake/prop but was so fucked up at the time he just went with it.
Also it happened once it wasn’t like he was out doing it every week!
Yes their lyrics are dark. That was the point.
Eating animals isn’t what comes to mind for me. I also rationalize it that 100s of millions of animals are slaughtered every day, especially birds. Which one of those facts is darker?
It’s surprising to see what people are remembered for.
This heavier and more aggressive music was paired with a more krass and evil image to distinguish it more. That's where a lot of the dark, evil and satanic themes come from. Both of these are why he is the lord / prince of darkness in our circles.
Because this is at best an anecdote for someone who had such a troubled life with alcohol and drugs?
Because his music is so great and influenced so many other great artists that we know that he didn't do those things as a gimmick for attention?
Because I know we shouldn't be looking at rock stars as paragons of moral virtue?
Also - animal rights were still gaining traction re: the arts. It was only in 1972 that the first "No animals were harmed in this film" was aired.
I also think that the boundaries of "polite society" and the law were different in scope.
(Not justifying, but considering figures like Strom Thurmond had no problem remaining in office despite issues arguably more human adjacent it does not surprise me.)
Ozzy leaned into it a little and I think it helped his profile.
Isn't it odd to think that a man covered in pentagrams caused such an outrage? How the world has changed.
I'm not sure how that turned into "he’s bitten the heads off of various animals"
"That night in Des Moines, someone threw a live bat. “I thought it was a rubber bat,” Osbourne said. “I picked it up, put it in my mouth, crunched down, bit into it, being the clown that I am.”"
animal cruelty doesn't spark the backlash you might think it does, and especially not 40 years ago when ozzy did that
