Re: Surprised that Eddie Trunk wasn’t at the Ozzy farewell

I’m very surprised that Eddie Trunk wasn’t at the Ozzy farewell . Nobody can deny his contributions to the rock and metal community as a whole . He should have been asked to cover the event . The career longevity that bands like Sabbath , Zeppelin , Aerosmith , etc have is largely in part due to Ed...

Re: OZZY Euthanasia? Never mind.

Re: Surprised that Eddie Trunk wasn’t at the Ozzy farewell

Let's see, they could have gone with the guy that 95% of the world won't know or recognize, and that's being generous, and of the 5% that does know who he is, 75% of them can't stand him. Or Jason Momoa. Real tough call.

I'm also a homeowner for the first time in my life which has it's pros and cons, but does add a layer of stress I didn't have in my 40's. Overall, life has b...
