Quillette magazine keeps making the most amusing music stories to me: HIS SATANIC MAJESTY RETIRES. “Ozzy Osbourne really was popular culture’s Prince of fucking Darkness. His songs have scored so many black-laced fantasies that if the devil has all the best songs, it’s probably because half his playlist comes from Ozzy’s back-catalogue. But for a whole other audience—those who first encountered him through The Osbournes reality-TV show between 2002 and 2005—Ozzy was something else entirely. A loveable but chaotic family man who may have seemed like a potty-mouthed lunatic, but only because the TV cameras kept getting in the way of what he really wanted to do when he was not onstage, which was to slump on the sofa and watch mindless TV.”
