I seem to remember Ozzy saying he does not have Parkinson’s. They recently figured out it’s some other disorder that is more controllable. He’s actually still on TV:

I didn't know Ozzy still had a TV show. It fits nicely into my category of - if you are on a celebrity reality show, you are no longer a celebrity...

Sharon has said that Ozzy does not have Parkinson's disease that he has Parkin syndrome. However, Parkin Syndrome is a type of early onset Parkinson's disease, so Sharon showing her usual flexibility with the truth...

Typical Parkin syndrome has a symptomatic onset in the 4th or 5th decade (30s-40s) so it coincides with leaving Black Sabbath and his emerging "old man" posture early in his solo career. Interestingly, the earlier the onset of symptoms in Parkinson's disease, typically the slower the progress.

Coupla things: what's Nesmith playing? Not once could ya see a name on the headstock. Davy Jones had a farm/ranch near Indiantown, FL, which is in the western part of Martin County-about 20 miles west of me. He used to be seen around the Stuart area quite a bit.
A guitarist I worked with in the early 70s had 2 of those Super Beatle amps-6x12" in each cab. Nice and light

This beast is at a local rehearsal space. Lots of funky design features, eh?
Looks like it was strung lefty at some point. The fingerboard appears to be made of some kind of shiny non wood substance:

That's a Hagstrom I've never seen - talk about north-south poles!

Now that's what I need. A double neck NR Bird 4 and 5 string. Prolly only about 18 pounds. And think about the 'neckdive'.

It is curious - Peter (RIP) playing guitar, Mike playing bass and Davy playing drums. Most likely Mikes playing a Gretsch.

On what day did God create Spinal Tap? And couldn't he have rested on that day too?

I love that so much that, unless I'm mistaken, it's two identical 4-strings.

Oh, it's a 4 and an 8. Disappointed. That would've been so Spinal Tap.

Note the amp behind the bass player.

They would have been a blast to see live. That drummer is an absolute beast of a player.

I'm glad He didn't. They are the standard of awful I try to live up to.

Well, crap. I remember Charity Ball, but never knew it was an all female band, or that they weren't a one hit wonder.

Bizarre thought: combine Townsend and Daltry with Dolenz and Nesmith-"Who's Yer Monkee". I'll go to my room now.

FANTASTIC IDEA!

Take the Magic Bus to Clarksville and I'll Meet you at the Station...
