and I do, and he has feelings just as we do. His wife is conservative,
dresses in stylish attire and conducts herself as a professional manager.
She is not a groupie, nor does she conduct herself in any appropriate ways.
Sometimes, because she is the wife of Ozzy she is not taken seriously, but
this woman is every bit competent as the next manager out there. The two of
them have made some excellent business investments which have enabled them
to lead a very wealthy life. They have also helped small bands get off on a
good start. Take for example, Motley Crue. While the Crue was still a club
band, Ozzy allowed them to tour with him and thus helping them become more
popular.

It is painfully obvious that he is getting old though. He no longer jumps
up and down like a wild man, no longer runs back and forth from one end of
the stage to the other. His later concerts show him either standing at the
mic, hopping up and down or walking from one end of the stage to the other.
His voice can no longer make all the high notes it once did, and he will
sometimes mouth curses at his frustration with this. Nobody knows what lies
ahead down the road for Ozzy Osbourne. The one thing I do know however is
that his shows continue to sell out, his albums continue to sell millions
and millions. I wonder what will he be doing when he is eighty years old,
if he is alive. I think even if it was Ozzy doing karaoke in a wheelchair
at a small bar, the crowds would still come out to see him. His fans and I
can only hope he will be around to entertain us for some time to come.

With the addition of Ozzy's two daughters into the music scene, we
can be sure that the name Osbourne will by synonymous with music for
some time to come.

We love you Ozzy!
