RIP Ozzy

[MainMan]

I miss the days of Bloom County, Calvin and Hobbes, and The Far Side. Steve Dallas is my idol!

Berkley Breathed is drawing new Bloom County comics on his Facebook page. They're hilarious. Naturally, Opus is getting deported by ICE.

Suspect it's both generational & genre related. Although I consider myself a music lover (my wife would call it music nut) growing up in the 60's I don't think I ever listened to a metal record and wouldn't be able to identify one song from Ozzy Osbourne or any of the groups on MJM's list - just not a genre we grew up listening to. I could name a couple of Van Halen songs but never listened to a whole album. I wouldn't comment on any of them because like with rap, I'm really not qualified to have an opinion.

Van Halen 1984 was mjmaherjr's first concert. Then I went Metal before and during white chocolate transformation. ( never had super long hair just a mullet for a bit ) I had those black light posters covering my parents walls and ceiling. I cant believe I let them get rid of those things some of them are Worth $$$$$ now. I think they thought I worshipped Satan but I always worshipped money and worked my ass off

The fact that I didn't listen to it, doesn't stop me from having an opinion about it, lol, haha, Like Francesa saying he doesn't know anything about hockey, then he proceeds to talk about it anyway. I jsut figured f MJMJr likes it, how good could it be? LOL

Hmmmm not just Ozzy trying to think of who Metal Head Mike saw in concert ( most of these were at Nassau Colosseum some weren't )

Ozzy-Mettalica
Ozzy again
Was Van Halen considered heavy metal ? Saw them on the 84 tour
Judas Priest ( wtf was I doing there )
Ratt
Dio
Dokken
Queensryche
Ozzy again
Motley Crue
Anthrax ( as crazy as it sounds their I think guitarist is now a master watchmaker and really good friends with a close friend of mine down in Delray )
Slayer ( again wtf was white chocolate doing here this is when I was more a beastie boy )
Iron Maiden
Kiss
Who sung Peace Sells but who's buying ?

Have only seen Anthrax and Maiden from that list but they both put on one hell of a show.
