Sometimes I'm scared of being Ozzy Osbourne. But it could have been worse. I could have been Sting. - Ozzy Osbourne

I don't consider myself a great singer--but I have a connection with the audience. There's the artist, and then a void and the audience; but I like to be part of the audience. I'd like to be them, and I'd like them to be me for an hour and a half. I get criticized for being the antichrist, causing kids to commit suicide, but that's total bullsh-t. My intentions are not that. Every year they have Halloween, and all I do is take Halloween night out on the road every night. It's like a Halloween party every night. If that was the case on Halloween night, the police cells would be full--everyone would have turned Satanic for the night!

We all must stand together now
A one by one we fall
For all these years you stood by me
God bless
I love you all
