Certainly worth a few words since I grew up listening to his music/Black Sabbath from the very start.
BSs' music was my psyche/pump-up music pre-wrestling matches.
I never stopped listening to their music or Ozzy; and generally still prefer 60s-'70s Britsh hard rock over anything that came later.
Black Sabbath albums were not left out for parents to view, and I generally avoided playing the music when they were nearby.
I wish I could have attended the final concert (nice that Bill played); but I would not have wanted to be around the many newbie heavy metal fans that have turned into mental slush (nor wanting to hear other acts that screwed up the show).
