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.”
The book promises to take Osbourne fans on a trip from the beginning of his career to the present day, using a wealth of Osbourne quotes — both puzzling and lucid, serious and hilarious — to shed light on a mysterious rock icon. That’s a tough task, as even Osbourne says in the book, “I don’t know who Ozzy is. I wake up a new person every day.”
Wit And Wisdom author Dave Thompson has written more than 100 books, a few specifically on Kurt Cobain, Cream, George Clinton, The Cure and Red Hot Chili Peppers
