My God, what a show that must have been. I would have paid several thousand for general admission for that show.

Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Yea...that would have been a memorable time. Judas Priest is also from Birmingham. They evidently had a concert in Germany that night with the Scorpions and Alice Cooper that had been committed prior to this concert. Imagine this lineup with them.

I think Parkinson's can be a sensitive topic. Sensitive in a different way than the political. I used to work in hospice. Watching people go through Parkinson's and other forms of dementia and terminal illness is very difficult. Apparently Ozzy asked them to buckle him into the chair. He wanted to get up so bad. I was really impressed with the muscle memory. He was transported to another time and place. I am glad he got this moment. The crowd response was amazing and of course they are going to help a lot of people with the money raised. It's wild to see how it progresses and then the symbolism of the song. A whole lot was going on there.

Ozzy dead at age 76. He got his send off in just in time. The afterlife just got a whole lot more interesting....

It's almost like that send-off was his closure, and he was ready for the next life.  Yeah, they're bringing a unique soul in.
