my first sabbath song was Black Sabbath (NIB).
i was born into a family and religion where the most evil, abusive people i have ever met constantly attacked my sanity and physical body. starting from when i was in diapers. holy crap. when i heard Ozzy's voice, and heard the lyrics of Black Sabbath set to the incredible hard metal thrash of the band ~ it just completely f***ing blew me away. for me, it was completely freeing, and life-changing. ozzy sang out my anger, with such power - and i fell in love. i was a die hard fan at twelve.
funny part was - i had pimples on my forehead and couldn't figure out why - till the night i woke up to having holy oil put in that spot. see, i was possessed (as proven by those evil sabbath t-shirts with their crosses don'tcha know). loving Ozzy & Sabbath made my life hell, honestly.
i have my own kind of faith to this day - and understand the difference between it and what i experienced - because of sabbath. imagine that!
rock on Ozzy!
