His music was the soundtrack of my teenage years. I've listened to him since 1980 (I was ten) and I never thought of his music as being satanic at all. Dark, yes. Mentions of Satan, yes, but he also called on God several times in his songs. His No More Tears album cover depicted him as a vulnerable man with little angel wings. He wasn't the satanist many, including yourself, believed him to be. He was a sinner and he knew it, but he was also a BELIEVER, and he knew it. He was a showman, and all good showmen know you have to have a hook to get the fans. Ozzy's first hook was The Madman and after he married Sharon, he became The Prince of Darkness. It was a schtick. Listen to the interview I posted just before this one you'll hear it for yourself.

Really? So you are arguing that he had a positive influence on the teens who embraced him and his music. (BTW, devils are portrayed with wings in classic art. They are fallen angels who tempt and do evil.)
