If there are any Ozzy fans on here, here is a few tidbits..and I am sending the Ozzy news in two parts because it was too long to send in one email.

TRL THIS FRIDAY - "GETS ME THROUGH"
Ozzy's new "Gets Me Through" video will be a TRL "Wannabe" this
Friday (10/5). Now, we all know how MTV shies away from the
hard stuff unless it is laced with some nookified bozo at the
mic so this is the best chance to let the powers that be know
that, for once, you like what you see. All Ozzy fans have to
CALL next Monday, October 8 and request "Gets Me Through".
Here's the plan:
1. Call between 3-3:30 PM (ET), 2-2:30 PM (CT), 1-1:30PM (MT),
12-12:30PM (PT)
2. Pick up the phone and call 1-800-DIAL-MTV (1-800-342-5688)
3. Request Ozzy Osbourne "Gets Me Through"
4. Repeat
5. Repeat
Three phone calls can make all the difference in the world.
Give it up for the Godfather of Metal, call 1-800-DIAL-MTV
starting Monday at the aforementioned times.
Also, tonight (10/3) at 8PM (ET) the video for "Gets Me Through"
will be on MTV. Check it out!
OZZY TO PERFORM ON THE TONIGHT SHOW NEXT FRIDAY (10/12)
Ozzy hasn't made a late night appearance (not including his
infamous Howard Stern Show pop-ins) since Sabbath played
Letterman three years ago. Well, return your winged pets back
to their cages and take out Granny's dentures 'cause Ozzy is
coming to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno next Friday, October 12.
He's scheduled to play one song at the end of the program.
The performance will mark Ozzy's first in the US. with
Zakk Wylde since 1992.
CHRISTMAS CARDS WILL BE SOOO EASY THIS YEAR!
..if you go to one of Ozzy's in-store appearances, like the one
at Tower - Sunset in West Hollywood, Calif. the night of the
album's release (October 16). It's a different take on the
typical autograph signing; he's been doing those since the
beginning of time. No, this go-round Ozzy's going to take a
photo with you and then give you the Polaroid!
Show those mammaries if you want or bring the whole family--it's
an occasion to remember. For the full schedule of appearances
visit www.ozzy.com or www.ozzynet.com; they will be posted in
the next day or so.
