Song of the Day for Friday

  Slava Ukraini

Heroiam Slava

The Ukrainian military report that another Russian ship has been hit in the Black Sea. When Ukraine has won the war there will be a whole new tourist industry built around wreckage diving. https://t.co/JTIKPtRpWQ

From The Math Contest

I was not there at the drop.  Too bad as I was top 5 with a question very similar to this one early in the week.  That said I got it later in the day.  

Here is my solution to yesterday's problem.

Welcome to the weekend.  World Championship at Ironman St. George Utah tomorrow.  Good luck Lionel.  Kick some ass.  This song is by a UK band and was released in 1970.  The song has the same  title as the album which was the band's second.  The album was originally to be called War Pigs.  The bassist's name was Geezer.  The lead singer has the initials O.O.  Many bands covered this song including:Megadeth, Weezer, Skrewdriver, Doc and the Mechanics and finally a super weird version by Soft Cell, you know tainted love.  The guitarist was Tony Iommi.  They used to tour with another band and the concerts were Black and Blue.  With the Ironman being tomorrow here is your last hint, the song is not Ironman.   The band is Black Sabbath and the song is Paranoid.  I will give you their version and the weird Soft Cell version below.

Song of the Day for Sunday

 Welcome to the Sabbath and for the Sabbath I give you Black Sabbath with Iron Man.  Yeah I know I do triathlons but this Iron Man is the song not the race.  It was released way back in 1970 on the Paranoid LP.   In the video it is funny to see Ozzy so young.  Tony Iommi rocks on guitar.    If you are making any amazon.ca purchases please click on my links below first as I will get a small commission on anything you buy even if it is something else.

I am Ozzy

 

Lets start off by saying that I have not ever been a big Ozzy fan and for that matter own no Black Sabbath albums.  That doesn't mean I don't like a couple of B.S. songs.  It also doesn't mean I don't think he is a character and might have a fun story or two to tell. So I read this old codgers book around Christmas.   I know that the MTV version of Ozzy is not something I ever watched but I was sure there was something to say in I Am Ozzy if it discussed his pre MTV life.  Well the book did.  I really liked the book.  It told many tales of this rocker.  There is a fair bit of swearing and his British accent does come across.  He shares tales of many things such as the Randy Rhoads airplane crash into his tour bus, him being arrested for pissing on the Alamo,  the hash cake that almost killed the vicar, jail and the usual sex, drugs and rock and roll.  Again I am not an MTV Ozzy fan but I did enjoy the book.   If you are Canadian and making any amazon.ca purchase please click on my link below first.  Thanks.
