Picking the Low-Hanging Musical Fruit



Of course he did. He's married to Kelly Osbourne.


You think I'm a jerk? I'll listen to that argument, but I'm actually a Slipknot Fan, I've been a fan since their breakthrough hit Wait and Bleed. Here's the point of the story, though, the original members of Slipknot are all angry, country kids at heart. They're not L.A. Kids, they're not New York Kids, they're not London kids, they're all from flyover country. Country kids love mud and setting things on fire.


When being treated for his injuries, Sid Wilson was asked if he was allergic to anything by a medical worker, Sid joked "I'm allergic to fire apparently."



I am not a fan of Kelly Osbourne's. So when she took to social media to warn others of burn piles, I had to roll my eyes....


You know what? Let's step aside for a moment.


Ozzy Osbourne was the lead singer of preeminent metal band Black Sabbath until excessive drug use caused his termination. Ozzy's story could have ended there, but Sharon Osbourne hosed him off and kept his career afloat. Not only did Ozzy continue to churn out records, but Sharon got him a reality show that re-packaged him as cuddly, Dad-next-door, instead of a washed-up drug addict.


Sharon Osbourne is arguably the best manager in the history of Metal.


But the collateral damage of The Osbournes was that we were introduced to their very average, and annoying, kids. Just because I liked the song Crazy Train, doesn't mean I should be subjected to spoiled rich kids trying to navigate California life.


And the original Crazy Train video was iconic. Why is there a "cartoon version" of the video? Because Sharon is a genius, that's why. She's selling her husband's music to the next generation of consumers.


Kelly Osbourne, on the other hand, I can sum up in 2 sentences.


  1. Nepo Baby

  2. Other than the Kardashians, no one in Hollywood is more famous, just for being famous, than Kelly Osbourne.


When she reads this, she's going to be furious with Beacon of Speech, you say?
