There is no denying that things have been rather lame on the music front lately. Aside from Lupe getting tossed out the inauguration, Beyonce pulling a Milli Vanilli and Tony Visconti’s face EVERYWHERE we got squat. BUT we don’t give up we carry on like music soldiers in hunt of anything that’s music related.
I totally hit pay dirt with this one and could well win post of the year for it. Seems Ozzy burned his eyebrows off in a house fire at his Beverly Hills home. This wasn't some wild bonfire or something either it was a candle they forgot to blow out. I swear the quotes from Sharon freakin had me in stitches. 'Oh, the fire, the fire!' is just hilarious if you add his old man cackle to some striped pajamas. Before you go hissing shut it cuz everything is fine and Sharon will get new drapes. Until then, enjoy this hilarious story from Mrs. Osborne:
The Talk on Thursday, she explained, "Everybody is fine. There was only Ozzy, myself and the dogs in the house last night.
"At five O’ clock (in the morning), I heard a noise like metal had fallen. I thought it was my housekeeper coming in and she had dropped her keys on the tiles, that's what it sounded like, so I didn't pay any attention. A few minutes later, my eyes are stinging and my throat's closing up, (I thought), 'Something's weird smelling in here'.
"Then my dog started to bark. I go downstairs and the whole living room (was on fire). The candle had burst and the cracking sound was the glass and the candle exploding…
"My husband had an operation on his hand yesterday so he's in a complete cast… He comes down and goes, 'Oh, the fire, the fire!' (and tries to put it out) with his hand in the cast. Then he opens the French doors and I go into the kitchen and throw water on it and it erupted…
"Ozzy's front of his hair from (his ear down is), gone! His eyebrows (are gone)… he's got like, skinned cheeks. We are, like, two idiots, it was like The Three Stooges… Everything you are not meant to do – go to bed with candles alight, open the doors and put water on – we did it all."
She said, "They (the firemen) come up, they give us a lecture, and Ozzy's like, 'She's been doing this to me for 32 years! You tell her, you tell her, no more candles!'
"I apologize to my husband because he put himself out. He made his hand worse, it started to bleed, the whole nine yards, and I'm sorry and I love you and I will never light a candle again…
"I want to thank the firemen from Beverly Hills Fire Station because you are magnificent there and I want to say to everyone out there, please, please check your candles before you go to bed."
