Speaker 1 (00:10):
So that's what the boss. The other one was kind
of weird, right, because he just had that big farewell concert.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Well, I think he knew that his time was limited.
And I saw an interview with him and he actually
was with his daughter and his daughter had said, yeah,
that was like he knew and he wanted the chance
to say goodbye to his fans. So he had worked
really hard, he went through rehabilitation so that he would
have the strength to be on stage and to sing
(00:39):
and have that concert. And what a way to go, like,
if you're in the public eye and you're a musician,
to be able to have one last concert with all
of your fans there appreciating your music and your chance
to say goodbye. I mean, I think he went out
on a great note.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Okay, so he had this Black Abbath farewell concert just
a couple of weeks ago. Ozzy Osbourne seventy six. I
assume every ringy knows this, but just in case. Ozzy
Osbourne was the lead singer of the group Black Sabbath.
He was also probably most known to the populist at
large as being a wacky reality TV show guy from
(01:19):
the younger generation of people.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Well, they were kind of the the first reality show
inside What a Dysfunctional Family.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
That was, and then it spawned on you know, The
Hogan Knows Best and all those other shows that kind
of popped out off of that, and he had been
I mean, the guy. It is amazing how some people
are the epitome of good health, you know, do all
the right things, and then they just like dropped dead
of a heart attack or a stroke or whatever, sometimes
(01:47):
in their forties or fifties. And this guy lived, I
mean in terms of just taking care of himself what
appeared to be just a highly tumultuous existence. And many
of the stories about him are well known. What he's
alleged to have done, he didn't deny, for his part,
most of them. And yet he made it all the
way to seventy six and was still able to perform
(02:09):
on some level basically his dying day.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah, he said back in twenty eleven, looking back, I
should have died a thousand times, but never did.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Well, it's a Keith Richards thing.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, he really regretted he had that back surgery. I
believe it was twenty twenty, and he regretted that. He
said the surgery made it worse that's what he regretted.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
All the things that he did, that's what regret Now
are I mean, he's a mass this this felt like
And I don't know if I texted you this or not,
but there's certain people who pass away and you're like,
oh man, that's too bad. Remember that person? Blah blah blah.
There's certain people then they pass away and you're like,
this feels like a massive deal and him passing away
And I'm not a Black Sabbath person, and I don't
(02:55):
think I ever watched that reality show. But why person
who feels like a massive deal that they are no
longer amongst us?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, I would say it's been a bad week for
gen X when you think that, you know, theo from
the Cosby Show passed away and now Ozzy Osbourne. These
were two iconic figures of the gen X, you know,
the generation.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Okay, I am like I said, I'm not a Black
Sabbath person. But obviously they were immensely popular and sold
out shows, although they obviously did not I don't think
toured for years in the lead up to this Farewell
Farewell show. But the rule on this program is if
you had three hits, you're a huge deal. And I
(03:44):
mean he had he had way more than three hits.
I mean they are a massive juggernaut in terms of revenue,
in terms of albums sold and all of that stuff.
I mean they are whether you like that genre music
or not, they are tipy top of the skin in
terms of production as a recording artist.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Well not only that, but you know, the inspiration for
many many bands following them.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
The favorite thing. Okay, here's the greatest hits album. Paranoid
iron Man, War Pigs Got, War Pigs Changes. Let's see Snowblinde.
That's not that big of it. Uh yeah, I mean
(04:29):
what was it? How at the Bark at the Moon?
How at the Moon? That was a huge I mean yeah,
they're easily in the They're easily in the megastar level
of you know, attraction. So yeah, that's my favorite thing
though of him was well, the two things. One, he
had a legendary performance of something that resembled vaguely take
(04:52):
me out to the ballgame at Wrigley Field.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Oh yeah, for the Do you want to hear it
or do we have that?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
We do.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
It's number five, Kevin, if you you have it. So
it was August two, thousand and three and he sang
take me out to the Ballgame at a Cubs game.
Wasn't it at a Cups game?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So obviously the Cubs had a legendary play by play
guy Harry Carey part of going to Wrigley Field. For
the many years Harry Carey did Chicago Cubs baseball and WGN,
he would sing take Me out to the Ballgame. After
his passing, I don't know if they still do this,
but they had celebrities come in for many years and
do take me out to the ballgame. And one time
they had Ozzy Osbourne come in and do it.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
He got about ten percent of the song right here,
It is all right forgot though.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Let's I want to hit a real real crazy crowds.
See are you ready? Are you ready?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I got here?
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
What?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
So? So take me in?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I worry too, pleas like shore out.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
The Okay, I got the melody right. I remember his
Cub fan and that was actually very insulting to I mean,
the legacy of Harry Carey because it was such a
special part. And that's when at that point it got
a little ridiculous. Like the first that was four or
five years on from Harry dying. The first couple of
years they did it, it was all people that were kind
of affiliated with the City Chicago or the Cubs or whatever,
(06:45):
and that was like, you're just insulting the You're just
insulting the legacy of Harry Carey because that's a joke.
The other thing was on the on that show they did,
he watched some guy make a burrito at the Chipotle
one time, and he had acted as though he had
no ability to process how a burrito was actually made.
(07:06):
And so my question to you is, in keV, was
he like there's no way he was actually because he
was still performing at that point. He was a functioning human.
It was like Gary Busey, where he's kind of messed up,
but eighty percent of it's an act because people know
I'm messed up, so I'm just playing into the fact
that I'm messed up. There's no way he could perform
(07:28):
like full sets of music. He couldn't sink take me
out to the ballgame, so right, I mean, that's why
I don't think I ever got into the guy, because
to me, just eighty percent of it was complete bully.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
It seemed like an act. He was somewhat political at times.
I mean he was acknowledged at the White House correspondence
dinner by George W. Bush in two thousand and two.
He's very outspoken. He had a lot of anti war views.
He clashed with Trump in twenty nineteen because Trump was
using Crazy Train in a campaign video without his permission.
(07:59):
He had a lot of views on Brexit. Even Victorious Sparks,
Indiana Rep. Tweeted out about him.
So that's what the boss. The other one was kind
of weird, right, because he just had that big farewell concert.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Well, I think he knew that his time was limited.
