Ozzy’s Book Full of his Memories, Some of Them Untainted by Reality
Posted on 05. Mar, 2010 by admin.
The first thing Ozzy Osbourne does to set the record straight in his autobiography, the best-selling “I Am Ozzy,” is to acknowledge that his recollections of the past may differ from those of, well anyone and everyone else.

Posted on 29. Jan, 2010 by admin.

They were already on display this past weekend at the Anaheim Convention Center, which hosted 80,000 attendees and the wares of 1,400 exhibitors at the annual NAMM Show.
