They call him the Godfather of Metal, the Prince of Darkness and the Blizzard of Oz. Until recently, though, few considered Ozzy Osbourne the next Andrew Lloyd Webber. That may be about to change: for the past few years Osbourne, the former frontman of Black Sabbath and reality TV hero, has been writing a musical. It is based on the life of a historical figure who could be considered Osbourne's spiritual ancestor: Grigory Yefimovich Rasputin, the Russian mystic and favourite of Tsar Nicholas II's court.

Ozzy was banned from Texas for life for peeing on the Alamo.

He did what??? As one celebrity on VH1 put it about Ozzy:

Everyone like a f**kup, no one wants to be one.

Ozzy is a f**kup.

It's all in those mad, hypnotic, and satanic eyes of his.

My name is old Rasputin
I romanced wife of czar;
My body was interred in earth
my pecker's in a jar.

I stopped listening to Ozzy solo work after Bark At The Moon. That was his last palatable production. I only listen to his work with Sabbath now.

He wasn't pretty, but do a google image search on Rasputin and penis. They preserved his penis in a jar. Let's just say it does a pretty good job filling the jar...

LOL. I think what's really interested Ozzie about Rasputin is he's the one of the few guys weirder and uglier than Ozzie. ;)

Looking at photos you can see why he wrote the musical (can you really call it that?) - he's model perfect for the role.

Oh, is he gonna be typecast after that.

I wonder if he'll be sued by Boney M? (Europop group who made the old f*rt popular in the 70s)

If only we could get him to the bite the heads off of live Democrats on stage, he'd be a lot more appealing to us Republicans. ;-)
