Book Description
All Aboard the Crazy Train
This is Ozzy Osbourne in all his raw and unfiltered glory; four decades worth of his best quotes, oddest observations, risqué retorts, and yes, even articulate ponderings. Ozzy might come across as a nutter (and rightly so), but when you sit down and seriously consider what he’s saying . . . well, he’s f**king Ozzy Osbourne and he’s got things to say!
The Prince of Darkness sounds off on various topics including:
- Black Sabbath: “We thought, Let’s scare the whole f**king planet with music.”
- Drugs and Alcohol: “I was always a miserable drunk.”
- Rehab: “I still take medication, but not for fun.”
- Himself: “I don’t know who Ozzy is. I wake up a new person every day.”
The Wit & Wisdom of Ozzy Osbourne reveals Ozzy’s philosophy of life and reflects the spirit of the man who made Black Sabbath famous, Christian groups frightened, and The Osbournes–a hit reality TV show.
