![]() It is hard not to enjoy the many, many times Osbourne gets plastered ("It wasn't like being drunk, it was like having a head injury") or his remorse when sober. His ghostwriter has faithfully captured his voice (Osbourne has many talents, prose stylist probably not among them), and some of his anecdotes you will want to recite to anyone passing. ![]() His life was soap years before MTV began documenting it, a place where biting the heads off animals and quad bike calamities seem a gentle diversion in an everyday saga of raising erratic children (seven in all) and four decades of rasping his satanic metal. We laugh at him, but he doesn't mind Osbourne abandoned any attempt at dignity long ago, plumping for what-me-worry survival in the face of diversity. ![]() Anything left for an autobiography? Happily, yes, some of it pathetic and maudlin, much grimly entertaining. The man has been trying to catch up ever since, first in his band Black Sabbath, then with his family's television show The Osbournes, in which even his attempts to "crack one out" in a room he thought was sealed from cameras ended up on TV.Īny Prince of Darkness worthy of the title might expect a life of mild struggle, and much of it he has already shared with us. T he world left John Ozzy Osbourne behind a long time ago - possibly at birth. ![]()
