Wow, so where do I even begin? Black Sabbath played their final show just a couple days ago and I've had to take time to process it. I felt now is a good time to share my thoughts. First of all, Black Sabbath are the originators of the genre of music I love more than any other.. Heavy Metal! They are the Godfathers and anyone that loves metal the way I do would know it's because of them that we have so many amazing metal bands to this day. So for that, they have my respect, appreciation, and admiration. Not just that.. but Ozzy Osbourne has been my ALL TIME favorite singer for most all of my life... not just that but he is the one artist that my Mom and I shared such a common bond with. ANY time I hear a song from Ozzy I always think of my Mother and as bitter-sweet as that is, I thank Ozzy for helping to keep my Mother's memory alive. It's really an end of an era... the pioneers of metal have retired and called it a day. While they have all absolutely earned the right to retire, it sucks that we'll never get to see them on stage again, but that's how life goes. Everything that has a beginning, has an end. I just want to say THANK YOU to all the members of Black Sabbath... especially Ozzy for creating the soundtrack to my life. There will never be another band like Black Sabbath... I guess all that's left to be said is: Don't be sad that it's over, be happy that it happened! Enjoy retirement, gentlemen... cheers!
