What to say about the man who invented metal? I've covered solo Ozzy (#Day58) and Sabbath twice (#Day237 and #Frey1970). I was going to wait to cover the title track from one of my favorite Ozzy albums, his 1991 opus. But with my dad's passing this weekend, it seemed cathartic and right to pay tribute to both men. My dad got me into a lot of rock - Dire Straits, Neil Young, Paul Simon, Lou Reed. I turned him onto Iron Maiden and Bruce Dickinson in the '90s. I don't recall listening to Ozzy with him, but I do know he liked the early heavy Deep Purple stuff, so probably Sabbath too. How best to remember him than with an epic 7 minute track about leaving someone you love and telling them not to cry anymore?

Farewell, Ozzy. Bye, dad. No more tears.
