Ozzy’s the metal icon for whom I’ve most lost respect. 
An unbelievably lucky individual. And without exaggeration, and for as much as I hate the bitch, he’d have likely vanished into obscurity, and very possibly croaked, were it not for Sharon. 
Ozzy is a lifetime dope, helplessly hooked on various types of dope, who will never realize just how fortunate he is. 
I worship his early solo releases, but they’re almost entirely about the players involved, and not the jagoff behind the mic.
