Long Live the true King of Rock n Roll Mr. Ozzy Osbourne!!
To Ozzy Osbourne From Rikki La Rouge IT IS SHOCKING AND SADENING I HOPED THAT OZZY OSBOURNE WOULD LIVE FOREVER. HE WAS IMMORTAL, A GOD AMONGST MEN. OZZY WAS BORN IN BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND AND HE TOOK HIS FINAL BREATH IN THE TOWN OF HIS BIRTH. I LIKE TO POUR A LITTLE OF THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE I DRINK UP WHEN A STAR WHO MEANS SOMETHING TO ME IN THEIR HONOR AND IT WAS NO DIFFERENT FOR THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS HIMSELF OZZY OSBOURNE! OZZY AND RANDY RHODES ARE UNITED IN ROCK N ROLL HEAVEN. MY HEART š¤ GOES OUT TO OZZY AND HIS FAMILY, I CANNOT BELIEVE I AM WRITING THIS TRIBUTE TO OZZY HE SHOULD STILL BE HERE.

"Heat of the Moment" Is the Guilty Pleasure That Defined an Era
Thereās a moment in every music snobās life when they have to admit defeat.

A Quiet Departure
Iām always looking for new musicāsomething a little off the beaten path, something that feels like it came from a real human being instead of a marketing department.

The way they spoke about himāquietly, almost reverentlyāmade me curious enough to dig deeper.
