It was an exceptional run, and I'm surprised any of them made it out of the 1970s alive. Been listening to nothing but Ozzy, Sabbath, and tributes all day. Need to grab a 6 pack later and have a toast.

God damn…band broke up AND Ozzy died??
I’m not fkn crying or anything but it feels a little bit like a kick in the nuts.
I played along with Never Say Die a couple times today. Can’t be upset when you have so much fkn ‘swing’.

Not that I need another reason, but I clearly need to learn more Sabbath/Ozzy songs. I've got a few Sabbath songs down, but no Ozzy. Guess I need to fix that!
R.I.P Ozzy, indeed
A true legend has left us.
Listening to the "Master of Reality" album right now.

The mix is so "open" that you can hear all of Watt's really cool lines and fills. Lots of super cool bits to really appreciate what he was doing all the way back then.
And in other news, while reacting to dropping a Tupperware lid, I think I tore something else in my shoulder. Calling the surgeon's office today. Boo.
It's been uttered 1,000 times before, but getting old sucks (for your body)
You just have to have regular maintenance and timely oil changes.
Seriously, over the past year, on recommendations, I adjusted my diet, and lost at least 40 pounds. Even standing up straight takes no effort. Banished for the most part was dairy and especially sugar, but I was already conscious of the insidious inclusion of high-fructose corn syrup in everything. That’s why there’s a super-sized population that you didn’t see before about 20 years ago.
I am pretty decent on the physical side, now that I switched to Crocs, Hawaiian shirts and a fedora!
It's a slippery slope once you realize a Hawaiian shirt is the male equivalent of the muumuu.
Man, considering all that Ozzy put himself through, getting to 76 is a wonderful miracle. I had to throw on Black Sabbath’s first album as tribute and play along on drums.
Now listening to Black Sabbath - "Black Sabbath", full album from start to end!
No! They got Cornfarmer. No one is safe!
Well, boo. Gotta get the rotator cuff surgery. (Possibly a total shoulder replacement.) MRI will tell the tale of which one. Gotta learn to wipe my ass with my off-hand. Yikes.
I'm falling apart.

Time for a bidet? Seriously, that sucks. My mom had rotator cuff surgery a few years ago and recovery is a long process. Sucks, but she's good now. Best of luck with everything. And I hope it doesn't mess with your ability to play bass either! I've literally thought about what body parts/fingers I could do without but still play bass...
Thanks, it does (well, will) suck, but, nothing to be done but do it and get it over with.
