No one’s gonna argue that it’s insane!
“What you read here is what dribbled out of the jelly I call my brain when I asked it for my life story,” said Ozzy Osbourne in his autobiographical tome, I am Ozzy.
First of all, he credits Charles Manson with helping Black Sabbath get their record contract.
“The Manson murders were all over the telly, so anything with a dark edge was in big demand,” he writes. “Before he turned psycho, Manson had been a big part of the L.A. music scene. If he hadn’t gone to jail, we probably would have ended up hanging out with him.”
Really?!
And he wasn’t really a ladies man on the road, which we’re pretty sure Sharon would not be thrilled with either way!
Ozzy admitted that when the band first played Black Sabbath, “All the girls ran out of the venue screaming. Isn’t the whole point of being in a band to get a shag, not to make chicks run away?”
But even when he did get laid, it wasn’t anything special.
“I never got good-looking chicks,” he continued. “We’d get beer bottles thrown at us, not frilly underwear.”
The worse part is detailing his cruelty toward animals. Ozzy recounts biting off the head of a dove in a boring record company meeting and of a bat on stage. Not to mention, he killed a bunch of stray cats and used a shotgun to kill a whole coop full of chickens.
Terrible. We hope that’s the acid killing talking!
