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) 5d

Deblovestoread Hi Ashley, you can remove me from your tag list. I never got to this one. Maybe someday. 💙 5d

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. 5d

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 🎼 5d

I Am Ozzy | Ozzy Osbourne

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?
#PrinceOfDarknessReadalong
@BethM @AmyG @TheBookHippie @Deblovestoread @kelli7990 @AllDebooks @Jjaxn95 @peaKnit

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. 5d

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”. 🤣🤣🤣 5d

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 🤣 5d

I Am Ozzy | Ozzy Osbourne

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?
#PrinceOfDarknessReadalong
@BethM @AmyG @TheBookHippie @Deblovestoread @kelli7990 @AllDebooks @Jjaxn95 @peaKnit

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. 5d

TheBookHippie Also. I think it was a ruse. To blame the music. Kinda like another situation we just had here. 5d

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. 5d

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? 5d

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) 5d

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.
#PrinceOfDarknessReadalong
@BethM @AmyG @TheBookHippie @Deblovestoread @kelli7990 @AllDebooks @Jjaxn95 @peaKnit

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. 5d

AmyG I vaguely remembered this. Such a tragedy. 5d

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) 5d

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. 5d

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. 5d

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. 5d

I've always loved them as a couple. Even though he was still married when they got together.
But this quote is everything ❤️
What do y'all think?
#PrinceOfDarknessReadalong
@BethM @AmyG @TheBookHippie @Deblovestoread @kelli7990 @AllDebooks @Jjaxn95 @peaKnit

TheBookHippie I think they were destiny for each other and although I‘m not always her biggest fan, I think she kept him alive in more ways than one. Her sitting on stage off to the side in his finally concert just watching him gutted me at the time and to think of it now I‘m not sure how she‘ll live without him. 5d

AmyG They had quite the interesting marriage. I, too, think they were made for each other and they deeply loved the other. 5d

peaKnit I think they matched each other‘s intensity - love and fight HARD. I also think she needed to run the show and he needed her too. 5d

I'm torn on how much more screwed up he could have been to get kicked out of Black Sabbath than the rest of the band and I think his going solo was the best thing for him.
Question 5: Do you think it was fair that he got kicked out? What about his name change suggestion of Black Sabbath II? And which do you prefer Black Sabbath or Ozzy solo? My favorite is his solo work 🖤

TheBookHippie I think going solo was best for him. I do prefer him solo as well -but some of the Sabbath songs are my absolute favorites. As for the name I‘m not sure. It was so so moving to see them all together right before he died. 3w

peaKnit I think I really became aware of him and appreciated him during the Randy Rhodes years. I‘ve read Ronnie James‘ book, he was a class act in many ways so it worked out for Black Sabbath. I get his disappointment that should have had a 2 after the name - it‘s kind of indicative of his child like thought process at times. 3w

peaKnit Agree @AmyG - he just seemed to bumble along and was on cruise control with drugs and alcohol. Animal cruelty is hardest for me, but somehow I didn‘t hold him responsible?

BookwormAHN Hashish, a concentrated form of cannabis, produces effects including relaxation, euphoria, altered perception of time and senses, impaired memory, and increased appetite. It can also lead to adverse effects such as anxiety, panic, impaired motor skills, dry mouth, red eyes, and a faster heartbeat. 3w

BookwormAHN At higher doses or with chronic use, hash can intensify these effects, potentially causing paranoia, acute psychosis, and long-term issues like cannabis dependence and, in some cases, cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS). @BethM @AmyG @TheBookHippie @Deblovestoread @kelli7990 @AllDebooks @Jjaxn95 @peaKnit 3w

BookwormAHN In case anyone including me wasn't familiar with hash and it's effects. 3w

BookwormAHN @AmyG @TheBookHippie I agree. A lot of his behavior was probably due to the drugs and anxiety. I also think he really wasn't ready for a family. 3w

Ozzy wanted to start a band because of his love for the Beatles. Their earlier band Earth was a blues band but they are credited as the fathers of heavy metal.

peaKnit @alldebooks I agree he was written off. Kids get labeled and it hangs on. I was diagnosed ADHD as an adult once I started a career close to social work and others noticed my “racing style”, my daughter is just going through the process in college. It still has a stigma. 3w

BookwormAHN @AmyG No kidding! 3w

BookwormAHN @TheBookHippie I have a friend who in catholic school was considered lazy until she was switched to a public school and her new teacher quickly recognized her as dyslexic. That has always 🤬 me off. 3w

BookwormAHN @AllDebooks I'm sure that's true but it's also sad. 3w

BookwormAHN @peaKnit Mental health needs to be destigmatized. I hope your daughter does well in college 💗 3w

TheBookHippie @BookwormAHN UGHHHHHH. That‘s pretty much still the practice here at the little Catholic school. Maddening. 3w

I Am Ozzy | Ozzy Osbourne

And as it turns out his father was right on both accounts. Ozzy had a rough start he went to prison for burglary but then became a legend.
Question 1: Do you think he learned his lesson or that he just learned that he hated prison? He didn't exactly stick to the straight and narrow. What do you think his father would have thought about his legacy?

AmyG I felt that he learned his lesson. I got the feeling he wanted to make something of himself…just didn‘t quite know how. It all sort of fell in his lap. Ozzy led an unconventional life and not sure about how his Dad felt. Hopefully proud. (edited) 3w

TheBookHippie I honestly think he learned oh this is not the way here. I‘m sure not liking prison was helpful! As for his dad I hope he‘d be proud. He really did make something of hisself. 3w

AllDebooks Prison gave him a wake-up call, for sure. He was just drifting without purpose. Whatever prompted him to post that notice for band members was a blessing. It certainly turned everything around from that point on. 3w

peaKnit I think he learned a lesson not to steal but I‘m skeptical he had captured the full picture during his first go round. He definitely didn‘t like it, yay! I hope his dad was proud, he supported him a bit with the piece of equipment he bought him to get started. 3w

BookwormAHN @@AmyG @TheBookHippie @AllDebooks @peaKnit I love that quote and I agree music really saved him. I think his father at least appreciated that. 3w

The Man Who Fell to Earth | Walter Tevis

pick

I loved this book. I seen the movie a number of times and I feel like the book fills in a lot that the movie misses.
So Newton comes to this planet with the idea of making enough money to bring the rest of his people here. But his plan unravels and despair sets in.

Body in the Bookstore | Ellie Alexander

pick

I enjoyed this cozy. The premise was fantastic. A mystery-themed book festival in a small town. Which sounds fantastic until a dead body is found in a hidden room in the local bookstore 📚

Enigma | Runyx

I loved this book. Salem's sister supposedly committed suicide at her college but Salem doesn't believe so she enrolls to investigate. There she meets Cass, a man with his own dark past and someone she can't stay away from 💙
