I got my first Black Sabbath record (Paranoid) from the $1 bin at the thrift store when I was 10 years old, probably after seeing the Iron Man video on Beavis & Butthead. The record was completely scratched but I played it over and over and it totally changed my understanding of music.
In college I painted a 9-foot Ozzy portrait that hung in my hallway for years. I still have it – shown here with nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqj55mz04w87xn5lv4pu5chcny4wplnl2ydxlaqlferquvzkjmjwwsgkkqtx (nprofile…kqtx) for scale.
