DISGRACEFUL - Ozzy has gone too far with the lies

Review Score:

(6/10)
I've had it with the lies.
I've loved Ozzy like all of you for a long time. But you know what: the reissues of 'BOZ' and 'DOAM' and 'BATM' have lifted the veil on lies that are simply unacceptable. Tell me - in any other form of art or music, would outright lies about the true creators of lyrics/music/art be accepted? Bob Daisley is the true architect behind the topics of Ozzy's solo career. His lyrics are what gave Ozzy SUBSTANCE (the difference between him and a thousand others). Daisley needs to be recognized, admired and given his credit. Ozzy is not what he has led people to believe. Funny, I always wondered how this clown of a personality could write such great lyrics...

Now we find out the truth.
I am so disappointed, as others will be when they find out. The worst part of this is that Ozzy and Sharon will not even pay Daisley his royalties. Christ - these songs would not exist without Bob's lyrics. THEY ARE HIS SONGS ALSO. (imagine if you can, the hypocrisy of reading in the Bark at the Moon credits that Ozzy wrote these songs alone... Daisely or Jake E. Lee aren't even mentioned.)
I am throwing down the gauntlet to true OZZY fans - Spread the truth and let's get Ozzy to make things right. He is nothing if not truthful about his career.

Public personalites earn our love and respect with their talent, performances, accomplishments and INTEGRITY. But when they cease to show truthfullness, they lose their right to our admiration. It is imperative that people and especially Ozzy's fans learn the truth about his songs. His greatest acheivements are mainly due to Bob Daisley's fantastic lyrics. Daisley deserves the same royalties as Ozzy.
And the same respect from the public. Truth must prevail.
