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.)
He did for me. My friends and I weren’t morons though. We knew the entire thing was a show. We just liked the music and were a bit surprised every time we actually read the lyrics. Hip-hop and rap has done far more damage to our youth than Ozzy ever did. As far as that goes, Ozzy was an optimist, dreamer and a conservative (except for weed). He thoroughly enjoyed taking shots at false prophets Like Little Jimmy Baker, pedos, tyrannical governments, and doctors who would prescribe anything to anyone. He wrote about alcoholism, drug addiction, porn, the woes of all three. He wrote about how living fast will do nothing but kill you. He wrote about the ravages of the failing mental health system too. Pretty much everything we here on Freerepublic rant on about daily. Anywho, let those without sin cast the... well, you know the rest.
