Remembering Ozzy Osbourne On The Brett Winterble Show

Tune in here to this Tuesday’s edition of the Brett Winterble Show! 

Brett kicks off the show with the all-time great "Crazy Train" by a true rock and roll legend, John "Ozzy" Osborne. Ozzy passed earlier today. This was one of those special humans whose impact on this world will not soon be forgotten. We should take a key lesson from Ozzy's incredible life: never give in, never lose faith, and never stop dreaming. You will never know how close you were if you quit; you could be a day away from a breakthrough, but you will never succeed if you quit. And you will never lose if you never stop. Take that leap of faith, keep working, and never stop. If you never give up, you cannot lose!

Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
I I I right right now, but not not No.

(00:46):
Three right there. It's not.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
News Talk eleven ten ninety nine to three WBT, it's
the Brett Winter Bull Show. Very sad story today with
the passing of John Michael Osborne. You know him as
Ozzy Osbourne, and he lived a life of incredible, you know,
of incredible achievements in rock and roll. He basically set

(01:45):
in stone what modern day metal was and he was
somebody who absolutely pressed the button full speed ahead at
all times. And he passed away today at the age
of seventy six, which is very interesting because when you
look back over the arc of his career and all

(02:07):
the stuff that he was known for, or they had
things attached to him as having been known for and
things like that, this is a guy who lived life
at its fullest. And I think that's something that we
ought to understand and we ought to respect.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
You know, all of these great artists that.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Have come in the world of rock and roll, whether
it's you know, the old stuff or the newer stuff,
or the metal stuff or any of that. It's really
incredible because these are all people who have charted their course.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
And you know, but.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
For the United States of America, you would not have
the sort of sounds that were out there. So Ozzy
Osbourne passed away earlier today at seventy six, and an
incredible life well lived. And when you sit back and
you think about the Prince of Darkness and all that

(03:07):
sort of stuff, he was actually he was a Christian.
He was a Christian. He was not, you know, out
there proclaiming on the corner, but he identified as a Christian.
He understood, you know that the world is a very
complex place. And you know, watching that that last concert

(03:28):
that took place just a couple of weeks ago, obviously
he wasn't in great shape, but man, he made a
show of it. And that's one of the things that's
hugely important.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
And so.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I know he's he came from Birmingham, and I just
want to say that everybody can claim him because rock
and roll knows no boundaries. And that's one of the
that's one of the important storylines that I think needs
to be understood.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
And you know, when you think about what he did.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
And you think about some of the people he worked with,
and I'll share with you a very brief story later
on in the program.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
One of the.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Things that's that's remarkable, is he he continued to make
new music. There was a there was a single that
was dropped about six months ago, five six months ago,
and it did sound like the final farewell from him.
It did sound like it was it was the summation

(04:30):
of everything that that he had to deal with, whether
it was addiction or in the other case of Parkinson
at Parkinson's disease. And so this is it's a very
interesting time to be alive.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
It's it's it's very weird because most of the rock
and roll people that have died.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
When I'm on the air, I mean it's I was
here back when Eddie van Halen died and we did
a whole, a whole show talking about that in taking
people's remembrances back in back in the day before I
came to uh WBT, I was there during the the

(05:11):
passing of of Lemmy.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Lemmy and Ozzie were like inseparable guys.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
They they worked, they worked a whole lot together, and
you know, it is uh it is really something to
think about. America invented rock and roll, and countries around
the world adopted rock and roll and as the as
the old, as the old, saying goes. You know, rock

(05:38):
and roll will never die. It's just going to reinvent
itself in a variety of different ways. So we're going
to break into, you know, all the big stories that
are out there that are trending. But if you have
a if you have a thought, we would certainly love
to hear from you. WBT text line driven by Liberty
Buick GMC. You know that's that's that's where you can,

(05:59):
you know, send some send some notes and think about this.
John saying to us, I'm not a fan of Ozzie's music. However,
I like the fact that they had the farewell concert
while he was still alive and so people were able
to show their appreciation to him in person, so much
better than a funeral. Yes, I agree with that one
hundred percent. Gosh, you go back to the passing of

(06:21):
Eddie van Halen and.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
They never had anything for him.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
I mean it was covid, I understand that, and people
were kind of jostling and pushing back and forth, but
they never had any kind of a remembrance of him,
which is terrible. You know, the greats should be the
greats should always be respected for the craft they put

(06:49):
in because when people go out on a journey to
try to do something new, they don't know if it's
going to work, and so often people just give up,
and you never know how close you would have come
had you just soldiered on.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
And that's the thing that.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
People should always think about. If you are trying to
launch a business, launch a concept, launch whatever project you're
trying to do, don't give up.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Just go until.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
You can't anymore, because you never know at what point
you will open that door to success.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
And it doesn't mean you have to be a millionaire
or a billionaire. It just means keep on trying. That
is the ultimate
