Aww. His embrace of the humour (and regular participation) in King of the Hill went a long way in making me appreciate and respect him for more than his music.
Golden Earring was huge in my youth mumble-mumble years ago. Blowing around the back roads of Texas in my 67 390 V8 Mustang Fastback with Radar Love turned up to 11 on my 8-track. Them were the days. RIP George. ðâ¤ï¸ â®ï¸
I only saw Ozzy live once in Long Beach, early '90s. The Prince of Darkness in full form jumping like a frog and throwing buckets of water into the audience. However, Zak Wyldeâs guitar was too low in the mix.
Funny enough, the next weekend I spotted Zak at the Cat and Fiddle with his girlfriend. He was just hanging out, beer in hand, and surprisingly approachable. We chatted for a bitâ¦super friendly, didnât seem to mind talking to some random fan. About ten minutes in, I mention the Long Beach show and how the guitar levels were off. Suddenly, he gets this lookâ¦and when I say his guitar was too low, he practically jumps in: âRight?!â
Never officially met Ozzy, but I saw him wandering around Century City a few times. One time he was wearing something that looked like a jester outfit.
I ran into the rest of Sabbath a few times at the Pickwick Pub in Woodland Hills. Even Dio. Another approachable guy would talk your ear off.
I only saw Ozzy live once. with Black Sabbath at the 1974 California Jam at the Ontario Motor Speedway in California a month before my 21st birthday . Sabbath was on later in the day before Deep Purple & the headliners Emerson Lake & Palmer. I was already a Sabbath fan from the albums Paranoid, Masters of Reality, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. The Jam was a pretty decent show up until then. Ozzy & the band hit the stage and took it through the roof.
On a more personal note, the first time OV & I got together to jam at my house some 15 years ago, the first song he asked if I could play was Planet Caravan. I did happen to know it & started it up on my Martin acoustic. OV had various percussion instruments laid about the room & took it to some other ethereal space for what seemed like 15 minutes or so. I knew right then we would be great friends.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner, actor who starred as Theo in âThe Cosby Show,â dead at 54
Malcolm-Jamal Warner, an actor and artist who rose to fame as a child as Theodore Huxtable on âThe Cosby Show,â has died, according to a source close to the actor.
Warner died in a drowning accident in Costa Rica, where he was on vacation with his family, the source said.
Thatâs very sad. He was coming into his own with his acting career on a couple of shows too.
Way too young.
