Ozzy Osbourne dies
Everyone: Oh, that sucks!
Hulk Hogan dies
Everyone: Oh well. Moving on.
It's almost like if you want to be remembered fondly, you have to not be a piece of shit while you're alive.
Or as Andrew Carnegie showed, be somewhat less of a piece of shit just before you die.
I don't really know all too much about ozzy to be honest. His movie was a big part of my life and i saw him live 3 times. From his private life i only known from what i saw in the handful of episodes of his reality show i saw back in the day and some snippets and fun facts.
But it's so funny to me that ozzy osbourne, the king of darkness, the person that uptight americans feared like the anti christ himself turned put to be the nice wholesome guy that people are really bummed out that he died.
Meanwhile, mr. Say your prayers eat your vegetables, truth justice and the american way of life. Loved by every flag wearing brainwashed idiot, turned out to be a massive piece of shit, racist asshole and people just don't care and piss on his grave.
NO U
I've never been a fan of Ozzy or Black Sabbath, but I can acknowledge that for fans of metal, he was an absolute God. Most long-term musical acts have ups and downs in popularity, but Ozzy became a superstar with their first album, and his INTERNATIONAL popularity never waned one bit to this day. Very impressive service to his fan base.
I like metal, but know very little about him. One of the first things I knew about him was about him buying something's head off, so I kinda put him in the "ignore intentionally" bucket.
And really that's all I need to know.
I'll just appreciate what he gave to music without liking him.
I think it really matters who you want remembering you fondly…
