Rolling Stone has a great obituary. There are some crazy stories in tech, but rock and metal still have the crown.

What’s amazing is that 75.8 is the life expectancy of men in the US and he managed to cross it with the lifestyle he had.
Life expectancy of men *at birth*. Once you've made it to ten years old, those statistics don't apply any more. In other words, the average lifespan of a 10-year old boy is not 65.8 additional years.
Even then, you’d be surprised that his lifestyle didn’t impact his lifespan more negatively.
But you’ll have chain smokers who live into their nineties.

#113RIP :( This is how I'd like to remember him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0hfg1htnM4 (video of Ozzy during an interview being clueless about Justin Bieber)
Re: Ozzy Osbourne has died
#114An absolute legend. I missed my chance to listen to Black Sabbath in 2015 or 2016 during the Rock am Ring because the last day was cancelled. I'm happy for what Ozzy did in his sixties and seventies, and what a way to go. And let's not forget, the most likely reason he's been able to get this far with his lifestyle post-80s and 90s is Sharon
Indeed... The clip for Under the Graveyard sums it up well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuzyA5gDa4E

#115I’m coming in from a position of ignorance here, so I was hoping the community would help me understand: the only thing I know about Ozzy is that he’s bitten the heads off of various animals, including doves and bats. That happened before I was even born. But, looking over the comments, no one seems to be talking about it. My question is, is it just not a big deal? If someone did that today, they’d be crucified in th…
As someone who listened to the music, it’s surprising to see this as the top comment. Yes their lyrics are dark. That was the point. Eating animals isn’t what comes to mind for me. I also rationalize it that 100s of millions of animals are slaughtered every day, especially birds. Which one of those facts is darker? It’s surprising to see what people are remembered for.
Doing it for fun and popularity is completely different. And especially in such a cruel and torturous way the Osborne did. He did it on several occasions and knowingly at that.

Other rumours were that he had ribs removed so he could better suck his own cock. The head biting and the rib story was later transferred on to Marilyn Manson. Isn't it odd to think that a man covered in pentagrams caused such an outrage? How the world has changed.
I thought the ribs hoax/rumor was Marilyn Manson?
It was Prince when I was a kid.

I'm opposed to medically assisted dying but based on your use of "death panels" I'm assuming you come at it from a different perspective. How is a "death panel" different from businesses deciding who gets food or health treatment?
I'm also opposed to assisted suicide. At the moment "death panels" are largely imaginary. If this law passes it will introduce actual death panels which dispense actual death as a "treatment". I don't really understand your question, probably because I'm not coming from where you think I'm coming from.

In the US our "death panels" aren't imaginary. They're administered by insurance companies.
