Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the after show decompression session, doing what they do best,
glapping their gums.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
A right, Bo Roberts on behalf of everybody who paid
attention this morning, thank you for an absolutely stupendous, beautiful
tribute to the memory of John Osborne.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Man.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
That was awesome.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Well, but I had to do something, you know, I
can't just sit there and ignore it. And when somebody
like that passes away, you got to pay a tribute
to them.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I got a lot of messages yesterday from listeners who
really loved the tribute on lone Star ninety two to
five during the afternoon. But today Matthew Paulicano said, this
is why Bo roberts deserves to be in the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame. Please, and he said, thank
you for the deja vu.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yeah, because I'm sure every song we played after seven
you probably have a memory of it one way or
the story.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Absolutely. I thought it was so great that we started
the ossification at seven o'clock with the song Black Sabbath
by Black Sabbath from the album Black Sabbath, and it.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Was the first song Bo heard.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
The first song on the first side of the first
Black Sabbath album and then I played the Wizard right
after that, which was the next song. And when I
brought that album home, I went, shit, I would get
the jackpot on this.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
So for me being introduced to Black Sabbath Edinburgh, Texas
some friends of mine, he was in my freshman drama
class with me, named Scott Kier and his brother Tom,
and their mom was a single mom. She was divorceding.
They lived in these apartments down the street from our
high school and we used to like go over and
just hang out, and they introduced me to Black Sabbath.
(01:42):
But what I remember is listening to Black Sabbath and
was like wow. But also the smell of cigarette smoke.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Oh yeah, freaked that apartment.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
It's like every time you would go to their house,
it just wreaked a cigarette smoke and so it's like
Black Sabbath cigarette smoke.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Well, what a memory now that you mentioned that, I
can remember when I saw Sabbath open for Mountain. I
think cigarette smoke was everywhere there because nobody gave me a.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
And then you get home and your clothes off smelling cigarettes.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
But you didn't care.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
You were I and you just saw a great concert.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I started with Blizzard of Oz. I was a middle
school student when Blizzard of Oz was a new album.
I got that, and then I got Diamond Madman, and
then I went backwards into the Black Sabbath catalog after that,
and amazing. Here's my Black Sabbath story for you guys. Okay,
April nineteen ninety nine, I get fired from my radio
(02:40):
station in Atlanta, ninety six Rock. So I go home
and I'm doing I'm on the computer all day every day.
I'm looking for jobs and I'm emailing and doing this
and that. And i go to ozfest dot com and
they're having a contest to win front row center seats
and I'm like, well, I'm unemployed. Now that means I'm
eligible for contests like this.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Was it your old station?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
No, Okay, they weren't. They actually weren't associated. It was
just the website ozfest dot Com pushed in the big
ospit and the headliner was the all original lineup of
Black Sabbath. This is in nineteen ninety nine, and the
first time they did a Big Sabbath reunion. It was
Bill Ward on the drums. They had a backup drummer
touring with them in case Bill's Heart failed him in
(03:23):
some way, so they had Mike Borden from Faith No
More as a backup guy, just on the salary. So
I entered the contest for front Row Center seats and
I won. Wow, I won front Row Center. And you
talk about lifting a guy's spirits who had just lost
his first radio gig after twelve and a half years
of being there. And I got these tickets. I could
(03:44):
not believe it. I didn't believe it until they arrived
FedEx in the mail. Wow, and we went and front
Row Center. Okay, all original members and everything, and mostly
what I remember is getting blasted point blank with a
host oh during the whole show. And I mean it
was turned up strong enough where they could reach back
(04:06):
rows with the thing. So you got hit front Row
Center with that fire hose at Ozzie. It was a
favorite thing. And he's dripping wet. You just soaked in water,
doesn't He's like a big kid, and they were so
loud and it was great. I got to meet him
once too, that he played the Fox Theater in Atlanta
back when No More Tears was a new single. Yeah,
and we got to go back and meet him, but
(04:27):
he wasn't allowed to speak to us.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
What do you mean he wasn't allowed to.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
He had a sports doctor on the road with him
who would spray his throat after every show.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah, so we were talking forty eight hours.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah. We were giving instructions like don't ask him any questions.
He's not going to be able to answer or anything.
So it was literally this awkward, silent moment of come in,
get your picture, and leave, and that was it.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Well at least he did it. Just give that up.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
But they have to protect their voice. I think more
and more artists are doing that because Celine Dion she
won't talk like for forty eight hours.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, they've got to protect those pipes. There's a lot
riding on them if there's a big old tour with
millions behind it.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
You know. I remember working in Minnesota back when Ozzy
got kicked out of the band the first time. Wow,
So Black Sabbath came through and Ronnie James Dial was
the lead singer. I saw that.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Show awesome, heaven and hell oh yeah yeah, so they
kept playing on social media. Snippets of Dan Rather's interview
with Sharon Osbourne, where she talks about the very first
time that she met Ozzie in Black Sabbath. She was
only eighteen years old and her dad was going to
represent them, and she just thought they were disgusting. She
(05:42):
was like, they were harry and smelly, and they were
and her dad his other clients were these American pop
stars and they were all nice and slick and good looking.
But then she fell in love and he asked her.
He's like, well, what made you fall in love? And
she said he was so He's so funny, he's so
quick witted. And that's what a lot of people were
(06:05):
talking about on social media when they were paying tribute,
like Stephen Tyler and Danny Treyhoe. They were all saying,
how funny he was.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Well, you know, witted, he's he's got his mark in
musical history.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Well, my heartbreaks for Sharon. I mean that what a
love story is, the ups and downs that they had
in their relationship. She was the brains behind that operation.
She created oz Fest. She was the one that put
the whole back to the beginning farewell show together. So
prayers for Sharon Osbourne and the rest of the family.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I have a clip of Ozzie talking about being on
the Osbourne's everybody watched it at least one episode, if
nothing else. Out of morbid curiosity. Here's Ozzie talking about
that show.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I think it was on the other thing on my mind.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Watched No.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
One, two, three shows.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I should remind you turn on your Azsie decoder. Right.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
It's kind of kind of a living diary, you know,
and my my children's children will shove something to show
their kids. This is what your grandfather and we were
loving with kids. You know.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Did you ever see the video of Jack with his
little girl and she's watching a video of Ausye on
TV and she's pointing and she's going, Papa yeah. And
then they showed her at back to the beginning and
she is jammy. She's got the little headphones on to
protect her ears, you know, but she's like Papa because
(07:41):
that's her papa, her grandfather.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Well, moving forward, I want to remind everybody of a
couple of things. And we might not have Ozzie Osborne anymore,
but we do still have the great Zach Wilde. Zach
of course, joined Ozzie's band when he was in his
early twenties, like nineteen twenty years old.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I'll play at the Cotton Bowl.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Zach is coming back and we have tickets for you
to win this week. He's a member of Pantera now,
so you can bet that pan Terra is going to
do something special in memory of Ozzy in concert of course. Also,
Zach's side band is Zach Sabbath.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yes, didn't you go to the Tannehills.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
That was It was actually several months ago and now
they have a new tour and they have a new
date and they are also coming back to DFW a
few more months into the year.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Coolie, well you posted on winning.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
What do you want to bet that show is going
to be packed to the gills, maybe even moved to
a bigger especially now.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I sure hope we don't lose anybody else this week,
because you know, losing Malcolm Jamal Warner from The Cosby
Show and then Ozzy yesterday, it's just like two days
of heartbreak.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
And when Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys died, that
just hit me.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Right now, that was a big one. I move that
we just go ahead and forcefully pack Willie Nelson into
cryo freeze now, yeah, please to at least let us
get some morning time in for Ozzie before we have
to start worrying about Willie Nelson.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Well, and I told Bo earlier it was you know, Ozzy,
I didn't think his Parkinson's was as bad as Michael J. Fox's.
And so now I'm like going, Ozzie was at stage
five Parkinson's.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Wow, Michael J.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Fox has got to be really into it.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
So yeah, and you could say prayers for him if
you didn't know Michael J. Fox had Parkinson's. When you
see him talk on camera, heard.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Taking Jen, He's in a wheelchair, just like Ozzie was.
So prayers for Michael J.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Fox.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And those liquid death cans that you ran the commercial for,
by the way, not a fake commercial, as BO told
you guys. So there's ten liquid death cans out there
with Ozzy's spit on them, and I wonder what they're
going for value wise now that he has.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Think that that already wrapped up though, because yeah, we
had that on time way last month.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
But you know, now that he's gone, his autograph is
worth more? Is this and that is worth more? How
about his DNA? I'll bet that's gonna be It's going
to be a big eBay or big auction item that's
going to pop up a lot of money going for.
It's going to be like a Beatles guitar or something
going up for.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
He has a corn cob.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Ozzie took a bite, and you know, I think Ozzie
would want us to have a lot of fun with
his memory and remember the goofy and the funny things
about him too. I really don't feel bad about also
busting his chops a little bit today.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Well, if you nine to twenty on Time Wasters and
Bo and I were talking about Bo and Jim's interview
with Ozzie and how you guys brought up the fact
that he had eighteen dogs.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
That you're like, do you.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Really have eighteen dogs? And he's like, yeah, you know,
probably adopting dogs. So we have up on Time Wasters
an old the Osbourne's reality TV segment with the carpet incident.
Now Ozzie with.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Dogs, did the dog ship on the carpet.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Everything, everything, eighteen dogs worth of.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Ship and you get to see Ozzie bathing the dogs.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
It's everything.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Bo, I gotta thank you one more time. That was
one hell of a radio moment you put together. Man,
you we had to do it, you know, well you
just ignore it. You did the ship out of it today, bro,
Nice job.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I did the best. All right. That's enough dis messed
for one day. We will see you tomorrow, and we'll
be in a much lighter mood, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, bringing them back around. Bye y'all, Bye, Long Live Ausie.
It's the after show decompression session, doing what they do best,
glapping their gums.
