Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary Prince of Darkness and one of heavy metal’s most iconic stars, has died. He was 76.

He died “surrounded by love,” his family said in a statement to The Sun on Tuesday. “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.”

He’s still dead, huh? Wow, what a bombshell.

True! I am glad grunge did not hurt Ozzy’s popularity.

And now for something a little different:

Well done.

And, I can relate: I never learned to write MUSIC, but, I enjoy “re-lyricizing” songs (sort of like Weird Al) and coming up with creative names for bands. The latter just pop into my head, almost always when I’m NOT thinking of music or a song — I’ll think or say or read a sequence of a words and think: That’d be a great band name! Then often a song or album title / idea will follow. I wish I’d written the better ones down, over the years...
