Actually Ozzy is a Tory and detests anti-war liberals

Really??? I would never have guessed that from his lyrics. Almost to a one, his songs are composed of the typical self-righteous, liberal lyrics which reveal that he is a self-pitying person who apparently truly believes he is the one who discovered evil. From his songs, I would have thought he was one of those Barbara Streisands with a despairing, hopeless twist.

A tory! Imagine that!

I was a pretty big Ozzy fan back in the 80's and saw him in concert once. He puts on a good show ("show" being the operative word here) and anyone who's been to one of his concerts knows that he appreciates his fans. I never analyzed his lyrics for political content. You'll get as much political content analyzing a cereal box, for crying out loud.

I'm glad I'm not all political, all the time.

I don't know what songs you are listening to but it definitely isn't Ozzy Osbourne. Please explain how "Wizard" or "Iron Man" or "Revelations" or "Mr. Crowley" or any other number of his songs are anything you describe.

I first saw Ozzy in Concert in 1981. I was very young at the time. I remember seeing him and Randy Rhoads for the first time on stage and I look back now on how they changed my life. At the time, my parents were getting divorced and I had little focus with my life. I watched Randy playing the guitar and I found something to focus on even to today. I put much of my energy into playing guitar and it saved me a lot of the pain from my parents divorce.

For all of you who want to demonize Ozzy, I say this: Don't act like liberals and hate the book by it's cover. I've met and talked with Ozzy. I have a great deal of respect for him. No, he isn't perfect, but who of you are? He has made mistakes in his life and he has tried to correct them. He is a gun owner and a shooter. He supports the conservative ideal. No matter what any of you think, he has a great deal of influence over a huge group of people. Many of which are of voting age. Only a fool would turn his back on a voting block like that.

I applaud President Bush for breaking down the barriers and welcoming Ozzy to the White House. For those of you who insist on slamming both the President and Ozzy, I hope you are treated the exact same way as you are treating them.

Be thankful that we have a President who has the guts to cross the divide and welcome in allies that can help us crush the freedom hating liberals.
