I am Ozzy

I always love a good rock and roll autobiography! When I heard Ozzy wrote a book I knew I had to read it. I just finished it and its one of my favorite rock autobiographies. My favorite is still The Dirt by Motley Crue (I don't think any rock autobiography can top it).


I'm a fan of Ozzy's music and one of my favorite reality t.v. shows is The Osbournes...go figure. In this book I learned a lot about Ozzy I didn't know. He's a joker and loves to play pranks on people, he was wasted on booze and pills the entire time he was filmed for his reality show, he worked in a slaughter house before creating Black Sabbath and he was the one who made Sharon get a colonoscopy because he had to, and in the end, Ozzy was cancer free and Sharon was not.


This book was an amazing and funny read. I definitely recommend it! I can't wait for the movie! It's rumored that Colin Farrell will play Ozzy...I don't know if I like the casting choice. I think an unknown actor might be a better choice...but I guess I'll have to wait and see.


SYNOPSIS


"They've said some crazy things about me over the years. I mean, okay: 'He bit the head off a bat.' Yes. 'He bit the head off a dove.' Yes. But then you hear things like, 'Ozzy went to the show last night, but he wouldn't perform until he'd killed fifteen puppies...' Now me, kill fifteen puppies? I love puppies. I've got eighteen of the ******* things at home. I've killed a few cows in my time, mind you. And the chickens. I shot the chickens in my house that night. It haunts me, all this crazy stuff. Every day of my life has been an event. I took lethal combinations of booze and drugs for thirty ******* years. I survived a direct hit by a plane, suicidal overdoses, STDs. I've been accused of attempted murder. Then I almost died while riding over a bump on a quad bike at ******* two miles per hour. People ask me how come I'm still alive, and I don't know what to say. When I was growing up, if you'd have put me up against a wall with the other kids from my street and asked me...
