For Those Of You Who Dream..This Is For You

Oh yes, I remember The Osbournes on MTV. If that didn't set reality TV back! I loved that show. Wouldn't have missed it. Oh yeah, Ozzy wasn't too technologically-minded. I remember he froze a laptop up and got his assistant all frustrated because he just kept hitting the keys. Sharon is actually a very shrewd businesswoman and saved Ozzy when she took over managing his career, or what was left of it, after Black Sabbath booted him out for his destructive and drunken behavior.

I only watched the Osbournes on MTV a couple of times. I didn't get in to it (not much on MTV), but you could tell who watched out for that family...Sharon. I was cheering for the daughter, I think her name is Kelly, on Dancing with the Stars. And I love Sharon as a judge on America's Got Talent. So I like two out of four? Guess I missed something, because both of the situations you two described sound great!

Omigod! Yes, I remember the bubbles. Did you see the episode when Ozzy was filming a Christmas special with Jessica Simpson and the two of them were standing next to a snowman? Ozzy took the snowman's nose (a carrot) and stuck it below the snowman's belt, so to speak. Jessica just stood there with her mouth open. I also remember the one airing of Osbournes: Reloaded on Fox TV. The show was pretty lame, but it had a couple of funny segments. I had tears in my eyes when I watched Ozzy and Kelly working the drive up window at a fast-food burger joint. At one point, Ozzy dropped the guy's burger out the window while he was trying to hand it over. And, of course, there was this -- Littlest Osbournes: http://youtu.be/_8u-IWWHvfs

Aerosmith springs to mind with ace ballads. Ozzie is amazing isn't he? Despite living in America for a lot of the time, he still has his wonderful Brummie accent. Gotta love the guy!

I've seen the Stranglers sing that at the Preston Guild Hall. Brilliant stuff! Long time ago, mind!

Its that dry sense of humour that gets me everytime lol - another band that surprised me with a ballad was the Stranglers Golden Brown - I love that song and still struggle to reconcile it with the Stranglers punk stuff - never much liked punk rock but had a big rethink with that one :) Hazel O'Connor and Will You is another one

that is the accident i was thinking of, but he hasnt been in the news lately, I just wondered if he was ok. I suppose Ozzy being Ozzy, we would soon hear if he wasn't ok!! bless him !!

I watched the "Changes" video on YouTube as well. I thought about including that link instead of the one I chose but anyway..they're both ace songs. What "accident" is this then? I know a few years ago he had an accident on a Quad Bike and survived. I swear Ozzy's got 9 lives!

"Imagine" never entered into my head whilst listening to the song. Aren't some people the jealous type lol. I bet Mr Lennon would've loved it if he'd still been alive.

Yes, Ozzy and Justin Beiber are doing a Best Buy commercial for the Super Bowl of commercials -- the Super Bowl! Supposed to be aired during the third quarter. Daily News article: http://tinyurl.com/4uvz86f

"Paranoid!" Excellent choice my friend! I've seen Black Sabbath with a guy fronting them who I can't remember the name of. It wasn't Ozzy and it wasn't the late, great Dio either. Oh dear, can you help me out here? It was at the Manchester Apollo in the 90s and I was stood right in front of Tony Iommi and his huge cross that mesmerised me throughout the gig. His guitar-playing wasn't bad either!

Tony Martin, he's the guy I've seen! Very good singer actually and I have a couple of the CDs he's singing on. Thanks for jogging my memory!

Was it Tony Martin in the 90s? Black Sabbath has had a lot of lead singers over the years. Of course, we all remember Ozzy and Dio (whom some peeps even think was the original singer). In fact, I just found out recently Ian Gillian was with them for about a year. Ian, I know from Deep Purple (another fave), but I swear I don't remember him singing with Sabbath.

Well, at least the song hasn't damaged your hearing. I like your avatar, very cute.
