I was never really a big Ozzy fan after he left Black Sabbath and Tommy Iommi. All of the "Ozzy" stuff came out during my time of monastic seclusion which lasted from the late '70s until about 1998.
By then I felt I was "too old" to rock and roll and too young to die. That is a very melancholy state and no amount of pulpit cheer leading or rock star bravado was going to to help.
I remember when they tried those crowd misters for the first time in Boulder. This was hippie-ville akin to Berkley or San Fran. Can't seem to remember which concert it was. Maybe the Heart/Ted Nugent one or maybe what's his name Frampton. All the girls wanted to go see Frampton. Lame.
Frampton was like so many Pentecostal preachers. "Do you feel like I do...???"
"Do you feel like I do? C'mon! Do you feel like I do...???"
He wouldn't move past that part of the song until he got a big enough reaction from the crowd. I could never help but have flashbacks to that concert while I was sitting in a Pentecostal meeting and the preacher started acting the same way.
