An Ozzy Osbourne interview is fun, in its own odd way.
There was Ozzy on stage with his wife Sharon and two of their kids, Kelly and Jack. They were talking about their upcoming variety show, which Fox's Mike Darnell describes as "fun raunch."
Often, Sharon had to repeat questions in Ozzy's ear. The hearing loss came from decades of rock 'n' roll, his kids said.
But the stories were worth the trouble. Sharon said she had just returned to the U.S. the night before and met someone grumbling about one woman's comments about Ozzy:
"The immigration officer said ..., 'How dare
she say that about our Ozzy.
Everybody adores Ozzy.'”
That's when Ozzy piped up: "Why didn’t everybody adore me when I was pissed drunk all the time?"
Sharon shrugged. "You see how he hears what he
wants to? That’s very convenient. He has selective
hearing."
