Here come the OZZY tributes.

Yep... Everyone's going to do OZZY tributes this weekend, so I'm sure I'll get an earful of that on, everywhere. Rare to find now is the John Osbourne material, before Black Sabbath. I've had, and still have, several OZZY LP's, cassettes, and CD's. Man, I remember when both Blizzard Of Oz and Diary Of A Madman were released in 1981. Kind of surprised that they weren't fused as a double album. Bark At The Moon was OK, Ultimate Sin was better, and the latest I've got is No Rest For The Wicked. (That's the one that has the no named Bonus Track on it, but you don't know it, until you see the line-up in a CD player, or play the tape all the way through. Cool tune, whatever it was called, and I've aired it in the late 80's. Ya know, you have to give a lotta' credit to Sharon Osbourne, since without her, OZZY would have gone no further than Kevin Dubro, of Quiet Riot, where in his last years he did the bar scene. (He even played at a bar in close-by Hornell, NY.) But Sharon, really marketed OZZY well to do fests and reality TV for years afterwards.
