I sing Southern Cross, it is one in a long line of favorites by Stills and Co. In the fandom world, I go all the way back to seeing Buffalo Springfield in concert. For me, they were like the Grateful Dead. No journey too long to see Buffalo Springfield live. The things they would do with arrangement, and dual leads, and folk influence, and instrumentation...... wow. Then came CSN & sometimes Y. Yeah, Bobster, I agree on Southern Cross. I just sang it last night with the lads at rehearsal in one of those free moments.

And I just love the Ozzie commercials.

Ahhhhhhhhh, a big 10-4 on Buffalo Sprinfield, Mick... Great band... Ritchie Furay, Neil Yong, Jim Messina, Steven Stills... I mean, if one were going to assmble an all-satr band to go up against the Beatles or Stones, that would be the assemblage...

And everybody, myself included, was doing "For What it's Worth" as an anthem of the times...

Wassamatter y'all? How is it POSSIFUS that you don't comprehend that OZZY is LIVING PROOF that GOD EXISTS?!

Here we have a man who has lived the Rock Life and can still FORM SENTENCES! Well, almost...

As he mumbles his way through life, OZZY PROVES that we are all being watched over by a higher power. For I say, if a man can barely stand and function, and STILL gets up to DO HIS THANG for YOU(And, his wallet), he should be loved and admired.

And, who among us can forget His profound lyrics?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHNmyN6mPsM
"The light in the window is a crack in the sky..." (Did somebody say crack?)
And the red lips couch, OBVIOUSLY signifying OZZY'S LOVE FOR HUMANITY!
You JUST DON'T GET IT! DO YOU?!

And, let us not forget OZZY's MEMORABLE MELODIES, something that most of you will not be able to accomplish in your entire misbegotten lifetimes!(Sniff...Where's my Kleenex? Excuse me, I just get so EMOTIONAL about these things...I'm sorry.)

I tell you, I wipe a tear from my eye everytime I hear that song. What depth!
A true Shakespeare of the Rock ART.

SHAME ON YOU ALL for not giving OZZY the RESPECT he DESERVES! It makes me want to cancel my Mudcat Membership!. Uh, wait a minute, I don't HAVE a Mudcat Membership. But if I DID have one...

bob :<) Da NA NA, NA NA NA NA, NA, NA NA, NA NAAA...

And, and, did you see the part in the beginning, when OZZY says something? And you can't quite figure out what it is? Well, neither can I...But, THAT'S THE POINT! Who among us has been able to FIGURE OUT LIFE?" Flakin' NOBODY! And, Ozzy tells us that by being incomprehensible. You would think it would be SIMPLE for everybody to pick up on these things, but I guess NOT!

And the part where OZZY sits on the red lips couch? Could that signify Ozzy telling his Haterz to kiss His A--?! I THINK SO...

There, I feel better...

No problem. any Folkmeister would do the same. that's just the way it is...

And did you pick up on the Kafka-esque VIBE of the whole thing? The wearing of the BLUE, get it? B-L-U-E...! Gloves? MEANING IN eVERY MOMENT, I tell you...

ART in music is a lost, uh ART!

INSPIRED? We'll you should be. Now put that pint down and write a KILLA, no FILLA SONG!

These posts are NOT incidental happenstances.
It's what GOD wants you to do...

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

Also well said, joe-j... Man, the 80's just about ruined me... I hated most of that music, especially disco and thought to myself that things were never gonna be right again and then I heard Tesla, and Stone Temple Pilots and Pearl Jam and got reinspired... I mean, I was down to not even precticing but a hour a week...Just enough to keep calloses on the fingers so when I started hearin' the garage.grunge bands on the radio it woke me the heck up... And thsoe groups, while never fillin' in for Sabboth, Humble Pie, AC/DC, etc., were a welcome sight... It was like the calvary coming to reinforce us against stupid music...

Now I'm practicing fir hours every week and gone back to doin' a couple three gigs a month and I'm rowdier than I ever been an' I got you by several years...

Like I said, long live Ozzy and long live headbangin'...
