i don't watch tv, personally i don't like to be sold commercials, it's aimed to such a low mentality, but i happen to love ozzie, he's a survivor, i've seen him live a number of times in the 70's with sabbath, and i find that he is intelligentas well as poetic in his lyrics, i doubt if you ever really had or listened to the first five sabbath albums, they are amazing gems that are credited with the formulation of the genre "heavy metal". they have been oft imitated, but never duplicated. i've also seen zappa many many times, and seen alice cooper live as well, as well as having many of their albums. they are completely different entities, and please don't believe everything you hear about these consumate showmen as well as businessmen. all three of these acts were there re-writing the book of what performance and studio work was all about. i know many many people who never "got" sabbath, and actually hated them, much in the way that another of my favorite bands, the grateful dead, were much maligned for being yokey country rock. that was just one blip in their long and storied career, but since you rarely hear or heard anything but 'truckin' on the bullshit so-called rock radio stations, opinions were formulated based on limited exposure, much as yours seems to be on 'iron man'. i have to admit that i was a heavy user of recreational drugs at the time of my original exposure to all this music, but now that i'm also what some folks might consider an 'old man' ( i'm 52) i still love all that stuff but also much other music that has come along since then. many of my generation don't understand that our generations music wasn't the only good music, we confused the newness of it and have thumbed our nose often at the best that the next few generations have offered, the good stuff is out there if you're willing to look, but sadly, most folks that i know would rather just sit in front of a tv, which leads us back to ozzie's commercial's. i wish him well, that fucked up out of his mind guy who gave us more than we would have had had he never surfaced on the scene. peace
