Awww, flitter!
Yeah, you're right. Musically speaking, OZZY didn't create with Black Sabbath an entirely new genre of music nor did he influence generations of musicians. He never sold out stadiums, or go on world tours over the decades. He didn't even have an annual global touring multi-band music festival named after him. He never won Grammy's or any kind of award for his music nor did he have multiple gold or platinum albums solo or with Black Sabbath. He was a nobody.Sorry but I don't think we lost very much musically speaking.
I have an older brother who turned me onto OZZY at a young age (9) and was hooked ever since.
I met OZZY If I remember correctly, at Record town in Norwood OHIO he was cool and signed my Randy Rhodes Poster. A family member dug it out of storage at my parents' house and sold it. I was able to track it down and the girl to this day refuses to give it back. I'm sure now I'll never see it again!
Ozzy sung a song called " You can't kill Rock and Roll" I think part of it died when he did.
R.I.P.
