In this special tribute episode of Boots and Beats Review, I reflect on the life and legacy of Ozzy Osbourne — the Prince of Darkness himself — who passed away on July 22, 2025.
Even though I didn’t grow up listening to his music, I always knew who he was. And now that he’s gone, I understand just how big of a space he filled in rock, in culture, and in people’s hearts.
I break down the meaning behind two of his most iconic songs — Crazy Train and Mama, I’m Coming Home — and what they say about the chaos, the pain, and the heart behind the madness.
This episode isn’t just for lifelong fans — it’s for anyone trying to understand why this loss matters.
Rest in peace, Ozzy. You may be gone, but your voice still echoes.

Vienna waits for you — and so does this conversation.
