Apparently, Ozzy Osbourne is just as shocked as we are that he’s still alive after years of regular exposure to sex, drugs, and Rock ‘n’ Roll.
In an interview with CNN, Osbourne expressed stunned disbelief and gratitude for surviving a lifetime of debauchery.
“With the sexually transmitted disease, what I was doing is playing Russian roulette with sex,” he said. “With drugs, it nearly killed me on a daily basis. I did a lot of heavy drug taking for a long time and I survived it by the grace of God.”
Osbourne of course insisted that others avoid following in his footsteps.
“You might not be as lucky as me,” he said. “I’m living on borrowed time.”
The former Black Sabbath frontman also addressed the current state of music (as well as his obvious sweet tooth), claiming that many of today’s acts have far more in common with inferior Chinese products than they would like to think.
“It’s completely different – they’re manufactured people now…like ice cream,” Osbourne said.
However, Osbourne still believes there is hope for humanity, and that responsibility rests squarely on the shoulders of Lady Gaga?
“Every now and then somebody comes out and I really like them,” he said. “I really like this Lady Gaga.”
Let this be a warning to the rest of you. Say no to drugs.
Hoping to draw further attention to his waning music career, Peter Hook publicly lambasted fellow blowhard Morrissey while promoting his aptly titled first book The Hacienda: How Not To Run A Club, a how-to guide to financial ruin and/or an autobiography chronicling the drug abuse and debauchery of the 90’s rave scene.
