Apparently the Wizard of Ozz has disappeared. Maybe they should just follow the trail of empties?
In terms of my own appreciation for Ozzy's music and general image, I can't say I really have many positive things to remark on in terms of Sharon's influence on Ozzy's career. Basically, after she got Daisley and Kerslake ousted (and Rhoads died), Ozzy's musical content gradually became less and less to my liking. I mean, one can surely see her handiwork at remaking Ozzy post-mid 1980s into that Vegas Ozzy image circa Ultimate Sin. And what she did to Daisley, Kerslake and Jake E. Lee in terms of songwriting royalties not being paid or outright signed away was despicable.
However, in terms of Ozzy himself, I think having Sharon around was probably a positive thing. Is there any serious doubt that without someone like Sharon Osbourne out to look after Ozzy's interests, Ozzy would probably not have been earning nearly as well as he has, for the simple fact that Sharon has Ozzy's back in a way that no other manager would have. Granted, the methods she uses to ensure Ozzy gets paid and paid well don't bode well for those who work with Ozzy. But who else but Sharon could have pulled the nuclear option and threatened to leave him if he didn't get straight, and who else could have made that ultimatum to where Ozzy would have taken it seriously enough to get straight.
Yeah, apparently she's a bit of cunt, but without her I have little doubt Ozzy would have been broke and dead years ago. Because Ozzy isn't able to control his own impulses. He has admitted as much as demonstrated as much time and time again. Wherever Ozzy has found himself today, surely one can't really argue he would have been better off broke and dead thirty years ago. As a fan, yeah, I haven't had much use for the guy post-Bark At The Moon. Maybe some fans think Ozzy would have better off dying in 1982 with Rhoads, so that he could have died a legend as opposed to the rather sad figure he is today. I doubt Ozzy would tend to see it that way.

That's almost as bad as what happened to this chick I used to work with...
This lady who is about 10 years older than me was engaged to this guy and they had broken up about 37 times because he kept cheating on her. And somehow one day someone broke into his apartment and shot this dude in the head. Now, he didn't die but he lost his eyesight. I don't know - maybe it was a .22, I'm not some forensic expert so don't ask me how anybody survives getting shot in the head.
Anyway, so now he's blind and he need somebody to help nurse him back to whatever and so they reconcile. Again. Even got married and she was all happy. For about a year. Then one day she went home early and caught him banging some chick he'd met on the Internet. Now, that's about as low as it gets. And how the fuck does a blind dude find anything on the Internet?? Much less a whore??
