I only got to talk with Ozzy Osbourne once during my radio career, and with him passing this week, I went through my archives and found the interview. Took me a while, but I'm glad I did, because it was a great conversation.

This was in July of 2013, just after the 13 album from Black Sabbath came out and before they played West Palm Beach.  

We talked about the tour, the record, and more!
