The profundity of Ozzy Osbourne’s one-line head-scratchers has, at last, been immortalized in the new book The Wit And Wisdom of Ozzy Osbourne, due out Oct. 13 in the U.S. and Nov. 1 in the U.K. Available from Krause Publications, the 176-page paperback was authored by rock critic Dave Thompson, a longtime Osbourne fan who’s twice interviewed the Prince of Darkness.
A new press release says, “This paperback looks at Ozzy’s philosophy of life and reflects the spirit of the man who made Black Sabbath famous. This is Ozzy in all his raw and unfiltered glory; four decades worth of his best quotes, risqué retorts, oddest observations, and yes, even articulate ponderings.”

It is impossible to satisfy everyone with one thing. But Linkin Park ever did and they failed. Now they have changed their attitude on music, and they want to make music they like:
“There have been periods of our career where our maturity level might not be what it is today, and … like, we read 60 things that are positive about the band, and the one thing someone says they didn’t like, you’re like, ‘Oh God, I have to change my life.’ And you know, you can get caught up in that kind of stuff. So we’ve decided — very clearly — that we’re just going to make music that we like, that is challenging to us to create and pushes us in a place that makes us feel uncomfortable and giddy, like we’re discovering something. As long as we do that, and we feel happy with the record we put out, then it’s like, ‘OK, we’ve done our best, and if you like it, great, and if you don’t, go find something that you like.’”

If you have watched every trailer of “The Expendables”, you must not miss one that uses the song “Paradise City” by Guns N’ Roses. As an ensemble action film starring Sylvester Stallone and many other superstars who are the hottest in the past 20 years, “The Expendables” must have no doubt on shocking you. So does the film music.

Some believe the song to be written about Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin’s hometown of Lafayette, Indiana and the nearby Purdue University campus.

Once I felt rock music is very noisy, even with no cotent. But after listening to Andrew W.K’s “I Get Wet”, I have changed my attitude as I find something that lets me know that is the voice from the bottom of the heart. In the past, I didn’t know what they say. But now I find they do their effort to say something.
“Everything I do is 100% from-the-heart genuine, nothing I do is satire or fake.” Andrew W.K ever said like that. “My main goal all along, was to be part of something in which I wasn’t turned away. And that’s what we’re doing with the music: reaching out to everybody, no matter who you are, and inviting them to be included in this party.”

You watch what I say,
