NZC: RE: Carrying On or Remaining The Same.../Solo, Ozzfest, Pros and Cons of "The Osbournes", etc.

["" <wildrose57f@xxxxxxxxxx>]

On the level of Floyd, hear hear J. Although I was too young to hear any of the 
previously 
mentioned (Zep, Floyd, The Who)  bands in their prime, I grew up with parents 
who listened 
to this music to bring back fond memories of their wild lives prior to Mom 
discovering she 
was three months along 'avec moi'. ;) Regardless, when I took up an interest in 
this music 
in my early teenage years (see 'late DG/early FBO' or talk to Mixer ;)), I 
found that listening 
to Post-Waters Doug Gilmour-led Pink Floyd was a true method to induce vomiting 
after excessive 
consumption of alcohol. Solo work from former Floyd members never impressed me 
either, with 
exception to Waters' "Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" (speaking of which, anyone 
seen/heard 
Jeff Lybarger around?).

However, even as I've grown older, my devotion to the "dinosaurs of rock" (as 
some call them) 
continues... my pennance this month is attending Ozzfest in beautiful Scranton, 
PA, this 
Wednesday. I have slight interest in the other bands ... but I really hacked up 
the $60 to see 
Ozzy. I hear he's still got it. What really makes me ill is the 12 year old 
girls in khaki shorts 
and spaghetti tops who'll be there just because they saw "The Osbournes" on 
MTV. Opinions and 
arguments welcome.
