Excerpts

“Out of the corner of my eye I could see daggers flying from Sharon' eyes as Ozzy leaned over and hugged Thelma. If looks could kill, Thelma would've been in a body bag on the next flight back to Birmingham.”

“"Here it is. Isn't it amazing!" she handed me a hefty black leather bound book with the title 'Ozzy Osbourne, Blizzard of Ozz Tour, 1981' inscribed in red and my name under it in gold letters.”

“"So the bloody hotel manager runs over yelling at me while I'm taking this huge dump. So I pulled a room keyout of me back pocket and shoved it in his face and told him, "eit' all right, mate, I'm a bloody guest in your hotel!'"”

“"Listen to me. I don't ever want to see you selling your fuckin' bootleg shirts again! You're stealing money from Ozzy! When you fuck with Ozzy, you're fucking with me!" Sharon poked her finger at the terrified man' chest.”

“"You know, one of the things that I enjoy the most about it is that I often learn something new from my students. Their way of looking at things with a fresh approach gives me new insight into my own playing."”

“We started waffling a bit and then I pulled a dove out of my coat pocket and without thinking about it I bit its fuckin' head off! You should've seen it! Blood was dripping out of mouth, feathers were flying all over the fuckin' place." Ozzy said as he laughed.”
