Wow...this is a sad one. We don't talk about Ozzy as much, despite him both touring strong and continually making music that was the backbone of an entire genre. While his music will live on and strong, I hope this sparks interest in the entirety of his career.
Ozzy Osbourne, one of the inventors of heavy metal who became known as “Prince of Darkness,” died on Tuesday. He was 76. The news comes after he gave his final concert this month, closing out his career by reuniting the original lineup of Black Sabbath. https://trib.al/BmFKeBR

I've been a fan of @adamcesare.bsky.social since I did a Non-Horror Reader Survey interview with him way back in the day. So I've spent the last week to organize people to go out tonight and see #ClownInACornfield to make it a great opening weekend. So I'm happy I could get a good turnout.

Big publishers rely on social media big time. From influencer arcs to book tours. I dare anyone accepting big publisher money to shit on smaller publishers or writers. It’s all connected.
