    I get what you’re saying about history and I like stuff like that as well. If OZZYs empire was flat broke, I don’t think Jake would care as much about the “historic” aspects of his songwriting. If Jake made bad choices that is not Ozzy’s fault.

    Jake & Bob had lawyers named Moe, Larry & Murray. Come on, they needed the bread and signed and got screwed just like Quiet Riot…..but in Quiet Riot’s situation: a few million. The smart artists/label heads/managers get the screw contracts out with Berry Gordy-like office meeting: a bag of cash and a pen. I bet Jake signed off so fast, he hit Wells Fargo that same day in Hollywood.You can imagine the Ace & Peter buy-outs, they got horsed.

    My Dads’ guitar teacher once said ‘Ozzy Is as good as the musicians he’s playing with.’
