An oral history of Black Sabbath: The album that started

Having grown up in the 80's and being a HUGE fan of Duran Duran and the likes, I admit that Ozzy Osbourne scared the bejeezus out of me. His music scared me...his pictures scared me...don't even get me started on his videos! I was wrong. This book is phenomenal. It is everything an autobiography should be. Ozzy starts from childhood and goes straight up to the writing of his memoirs. He leaves no detail out. It is one amazing ride. That Ozzy has lived to 64 years old is nothing short of miraculous, and he knows it. He's done just about everything possible to get himself killed. There’s a lot more to be done to improve equality across the board. We are one, regardless of color, gender, ability, and that has to be recognized; and if enough people shout about it, we will create change. Social media has the power to create change.

Connect with Ozzy

I’m happy that, through this book, I had the pleasure of UNDERSTANDING the human, Ozzy Osbourne, who also happens to be immortal (just kidding sort of!) ; be a husband, father, friend, band-mate, businessman, addict, etc. VT: Being a model at a very young age must have its highs and lows. Therefore, who has been there guiding you? How has been the support of your family over these years? Three decades later, Ozzy recorded another version of the song, this time with his daughter, Kelly Osbourne as a duet. The revised lyrics for this version, released on 8 December 2003, reflect the moments of their life together. The single reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the second father-daughter duet to top the chart after Frank and Nancy Sinatra did so with " Somethin' Stupid" in 1967. [7] "Changes" also reached the top 20 in Germany, Ireland, and Norway. Hating people isn’t a productive way of living. So what’s the point in hating anyone? There’s enough hate in the world as it is, without me adding to it.”

He was the only one of the family to survive what Francois Maurois, in his introduction, calls the "human holocaust" of the persecution of the Jews, which began with the restrictions, the singularization of the yellow star, the enclosure within the ghetto, and went on to the mass deportations to the ovens of Auschwitz and Buchenwald. There are unforgettable and horrifying scenes here in this spare and sombre memoir of this experience of the hanging of a child, of his first farewell with his father who leaves him an inheritance of a knife and a spoon, and of his last goodbye at Buchenwald his father's corpse is already cold let alone the long months of survival under unconscionable conditions. VT: All these life-changing challenges we have been facing since last year have affected many young people. That being said, which words would you like to share with those who could be nostalgic for the life they used to have or might be feeling a little down these days?

I’ve hated the COVID thing because it stopped me from working abroad. I had amazing jobs lined up in Milan and Munich, but then Boris Johnson came on TV and told us all to stay at home. It’s been rubbish travel-wise. But then, I know someone whose Dad had serious long COVID, and that’s changed everything for him. So, I tell myself to be grateful. I‘ve only lost dreams, not people. There is no NEED to be an award winning author. Save the literature and music snobs for others. Life is to be enjoyed no matter your personal beliefs or tastes. Life’s too short. (R.R.)

15 Best Autobiographies You Need to Read

So you can imagine how strange it was for me to see him years later bumbling around with his family on MTV. Who the hell was this guy? Although he did provide an excellent example of the 80’s campaign “this is what happens to your brain on drugs” (anyone remember that ad with the fried egg?) It was hard for me to comprehend that this was the same man, Ozzy was the devil not a man who lived in the English countryside with a wife and kids. I was intrigued enough that I had to read his biography, to figure out which Ozzy was the real Ozzy. The truth is though, they both are. This probably is the funniest autobiography out there. I literally burst out laughing several times. Once I was at work, reading and couldn’t stop laughing, I even had tears in my eyes from so much laughter… Everyone was staring at me… but who cares, it was a hell of an experience!
