Everyone misunderstands Nietzsche!  It was OUR god that died, the one we created.  He never said God or gods don't exist.  He wasn't an atheist in the truest sense.  He had a deep-seeded ambivalence to them.

Without stepping too far into religion here....
I by accident studied this back in my college days (I liked a girl taking a German lit class...So....). According to scholars, the 'God is Dead' statement was meant by Nietzsche to be ironic..a paradox in that Gods by their nature -indeed by definition - are immortal. Nietzsche was talking about men and Mankind - the human condition.
 
I never got the girl, but some of that German literature makes you think. Especially the stuff written just after WWI. Heavy.

Anybody who think they can dismiss Osbourne's entire catalog with Black Sabbath and as a solo artist is a joker.
 
I get the impression that Ozzy is a lot smarter than he likes to show... Because, yes he IS a clown. But I have a feeling that there's a lot more to the man than that persona.

A good show is a good show ... and he knew how to play to the media to stand out. That's perceptive in a way!

I originally said, "Yes," but I have to place a condition on that.  If they can only read TAB, then they aren't really musicians no matter how well they sing

Ray Thomas? Played the flute too. Usually wrote a couple of songs per album, generally the (most) soppy ones, although I did like 'Dear Diary'. My sister had one of his solo albums, it was like aural marzipan.
