I’ve never been a fan of Ozzy or Black Sabbath, but I can acknowledge that for fans of metal, he was an absolute God. Most long-term musical acts have ups and downs in popularity, but Ozzy became a superstar with their first album, and his INTERNATIONAL popularity never waned one bit to this day. Very impressive service to his fan base.
I like metal, but know very little about him. One of the first things I knew about him was about him buying something’s head off, so I kinda put him in the “ignore intentionally” bucket.
And really that’s all I need to know.
I’ll just appreciate what he gave to music without liking him.
Ozzy Osbourne dies
Everyone: Oh, that sucks!
Hulk Hogan dies
Everyone: Oh well. Moving on.
It’s almost like if you want to be remembered fondly, you have to not be a piece of shit while you’re alive.
Or as Andrew Carnegie showed, be somewhat less of a piece of shit just before you die.

NO U
I think it really matters who you want remembering you fondly…
My literal thought reading the headline - “Good fucking riddence”!
Stupid, but you and the comment below you both spelled it wrong.
Maybe it’s a dance, a dance of ridding shitty people. Good riddance!
Both spelled it wrong in the same manner? What a coincidance!
So a rain dance brings rain, and a riddance gets rid of things?
…I smell a sequel to Death Note.
They die in threes:
Ozzy Osbourne
Hulk Hogan
Chuck Mangione
