Lots thinking the same. It takes courage to say it.
There’s the unwritten rule you don’t speak ill of the dead. It’s weird, you can call them an a$$whole all you like when the are alive, as soon as they die then it’s bad taste. Death does not absolve them. They were horrid and peddled misery to others. We need to be voicing this more.
The threads about Hulk Hogan dying were interesting. Lots of love for Ozzy in there.
Ozzy wrote songs about how powerful people send poor people to die in nonsensical wars.
Absolutely. That’s why seeing love for him dominating a dirtbag’s death notice was fantastic.
And then he and his wife spoke in favor of (denial of) Israels genocide in Gaza. He can rest in piss as well.
Mostly Ozzy’s wife to be fair; in the years leading up to his death his brain really hasn’t functioned properly (literally) and he just said that he doesn’t understand why there’s anti-semitism, no?

Definitely find it reasonable to use it as a political and personal litmus test; I generally do the same. Perhaps Ozzy was more of a genuine Zionist than I expected - I am too young to care about him and Black Sabbath too much - but he just appeared to me like a drugged up old lad who had no clue what was going on around him. I saw him at Copenhell some years back and I’m convinced that he had no idea who or where he was, so I guess I just mostly view him like that
Immediately at death is when we should discuss someone’s legacy, good or bad
Fuck social rules, you deserve the death you lived. And this piece of shit deserves to have his corpse desecrated and his name run through the mud.
