The Endearing Connection: Ozzy and Ozzie. Pass Me That Burning Guitar...
When old Rockers check out, they do it in style. Ozzy Osborne did one last concert the week before his ride up to meet Saint Peter. TV preacher, Joel ( Money Bags) Olsteen, said that Ozzy, upon being stopped at the gate by an Archangel, told God that the whole black satanic Satan thing was just an act, and he never liked the taste of Bats.

Positive Advice For Folks That Don’t Live In Texas, But Wish They Did. My old pal, Mooch, whom I don’t see much of anymore because he became a vegan, and now we can’t meet at Whataburger for lunch.

Prophecy Or A Coincidence? Is That A Molotov Cocktail In Your Pocket Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?
Is the world living out Biblical Prophecy, or is God testing us to see how far mankind will go to reach the end? Why would he not? He’s done it before with many empires: Roman, Greek, Mayan, Inca, and Persian. All the answers to the questions and scenarios were written thousands of years ago.

Summer Adventures of a 1950s Boyhood
It was the summer of my seventh year, 1957. It was too hot to play pick-up baseball games unless my buddies and I got to the Forest Park Ball Diamonds before 8 am, and the city pool was closed because of the Polio scare; my mother kept a picture of an iron lung taped to the icebox to remind me what would happen if I disobeyed her orders.
