Here‘s how I did on my September #readyourkindle list. The only book I read all month was the Ozzy book for the #princeofdarknessreadalong. I started the #christiescapers book for September but I haven‘t finished it yet. I didn‘t start Good Night, Mr. Holmes for the #litsyirregulars book club.

Here‘s how I did on my September #bookspinbingo list. I only read I Am Ozzy by Osbourne for the #princeofdarknessreadalong for the entire month and it‘s the only book I finished reading. I started reading the September short story for the #christiescapers buddy read but I‘ll finish it in October.

Here‘s my #readingwrapup from StoryGraph. This is the first time I‘ve ever read 1 book the entire month and no other books. I started other books but this is the only one I finished. The audiobook for I Am Ozzy by Ozzy Osbourne was 14 hours. I didn‘t think it would take all month for me just to read this book but it is what it is. I read this book for the #princeofdarknessreadalong. Some reading months are better than others.

For the first time ever, I don‘t have any favorites to share for #weeklyfavorites. I only read 1 book the entire month and that was I Am Ozzy by Ozzy Osbourne for #princeofdarknessreadalong. I like some of his songs but I didn‘t really care for the book that much because I‘m not an Ozzy fan. I started the September short story for the #christiescapers buddy read and I‘m not finished with it yet but I‘ll finish it in October.

Read4life Here‘s hoping October is better!! 💙📚💙 3d

TheBookHippie I liked this. Reading it brought back floods of memories from my younger years. I saw Ozzyfest (80s)in my late teens- life changing. We were going to go in 2016 but I got sick 😑. I adored watching his final concert. (edited) 4d
Deblovestoread Hi Ashley, you can remove me from your tag list. I never got to this one. Maybe someday. 💙 4d
AmyG I loved this book. You heard Ozzy‘s voice throughout. I only really listened to Black Sabbath, not his solo albums. And I found him so very endearing. How do you not like Ozzy? A decent but WILD guy. 4d
peaKnit I enjoyed re-reading this one. I saw him in the early 90‘s with a group of guys, including now husband - our own concert club. His solo career started during my weird angsty middle school time, perfect timing. Crazy Train, Over the Mountain, Bark at the moon 🎼 4d

I loved this show. It was brilliant. Ozzy didn't seem to have enjoyed it so much & I don't blame him. I couldn't do a reality show. I hate cameras.
Have y'all seen it? Any reality star dreams?

TheBookHippie I caught it a few times. Not much TV in these years I was working a ton and raising my daughter. I could never and I don‘t generally enjoy reality TV. 4d
AmyG We loved watching the show. My kids would auote lines from it all the time. Clean your room! “I don‘t have to, I‘m the Prince of Darkness”. 🤣🤣🤣 4d
peaKnit My husband and I loved the show. We loved MTV reality - the real world. (Though a conservative cast member from my state is now head of transportation, what?!) Anyways, the show was fun and ridiculous. I didn‘t have kids yet, but I wish they could‘ve seen it with us lol! I always wondered the impact on Kelly and Jack though. @AmyG we still quote that line 🤣 4d

As Ozzy points out Suicide Solution wasn't on that album nor was that what the sound is about.
Is anyone right to blame the musicians? Personally, I prefer sad music when I'm sad, because I can relate to it & I don't always want to be cheered up. What is your preference?

TheBookHippie No. Do musicians get blamed for music played and babies get made? The cologne he wore, the books etc etc the answer is inside the person. Ozzy and his music saved so many lives too. Concerts were so good for misfits 🙂 but that was a shared love experience. Is music powerful- yes. Ultimately it‘s still the person who decides. 4d
TheBookHippie Also. I think it was a ruse. To blame the music. Kinda like another situation we just had here. 4d
AmyG Suicide is a horror and I think some look for something to blame….hence the music. There are so many factors, was music one of them? Maybe. But not the cause. 4d
peaKnit Suicide leave those behind so ruined, I think they grab at any possibility of blame. It may depend on the person. A sensitive or mentally ill person could crawl a bit into the lyrics and believe they are speaking to them? 4d
peaKnit Music can be something to relate to, to feel joy, nostalgia. @thebookhippie I agree, his concerts were a place for the misfits to meet🥰 a cousin and I bonded over Ozzy, she was a drug addict and I was a bookworm, anything is possible. And working in corrections, I‘ve quoted some wild music to relate to peeps lol! (edited) 4d

This accident was so incredibly horrible & terrifying.
How does someone process this? Poor Randy he sounded like a really good guy & he was incredibly talented.

TheBookHippie I remember this so vividly… such an unnecessary tragedy… we were all just gutted. He was a decent man - kid really.. from all accounts he was a good person. Horrific and senseless. 4d
AmyG I vaguely remembered this. Such a tragedy. 4d
peaKnit I remember this and also read Rudy Sarzo‘s memoir. He described this from his perspective also. Randy was a prodigy, and had some classical future goals. Horribly sad. I can‘t imagine how haunted Ozzy and his crew must have been after this. I wanted more from Ozzy‘s memoir on this incident - it shaped the future. (edited) 4d

He bit the head off a bat, a dove, and peed on the Alamo. Ozzy has done some insane things.
Do you think drugs & alcohol were solely to blame, or did reputation become too real at times?
#PrinceOfDarknessReadalong
@BethM @AmyG @TheBookHippie @Deblovestoread @kelli7990 @AllDebooks @Jjaxn95 @peaKnit

TheBookHippie A little of both here I think. It‘s hard to comprehend that kind of life. It‘s like stupid things you do in a group in your late teens and early twenties except you didn‘t have an audience. 4d
AmyG I also think both. He was a character. Then add drugs and alcohol. That he survived for so long is some kind of miracle. 4d
peaKnit I think drugs and alcohol would obliterate his conscience to allow him to do whatever, whenever. Seems an awful way to live. It was also a way to get people to leave, it seems he sabotaged many relationships. 4d
