Dana,
I think that might have been my last album of ozzys too , I did buy sabbaths last album and was pretty disappointed overall ~
The last time that I listened to a whole Ozzy cd was last week. No Rest For the Wicked! I was listening to the the last track Hero and thinking…. What a great song and I dont think there is another rock or metal artist who have rocked this world with so many great releases and rock tours throughout my life. Patient number 9 is a rocking great album!
I agree with what Rattlehead said. They never gave him an award for his best works but they do now that he is on his last leg. It makes no sense.
This happens all the time, especially with the Oscars.
So true Dana.
