Wanna See Ozzy for Free?

For those metalhead fans out there, it seems as if the Wizard of Blizzard shall be hitting the road this summer for the newest rendition of “Ozzfest” on a pro-bono note. Tickets for this year’s Ozzfest, which are usually over $40 a pop, will be free for the 25-city tour as a “thank you” to fans for this, the 12th year of the annual roadshow.

“It’s not saying that I’m now Mother Teresa or that Ozzy is a saint, but you know what? He’s been doing this a long time and his audience has been really good to him,” Sharon Osbourne said. “So if he goes out one summer of his life and he doesn’t get paid, big deal.”

The tour starts on July 7th, with stops in Los Angeles, New York City, Denver, Dallas, and many other large cities. Sponsors have signed up to help generate the “free-ness” of the ticket cost. While other bands are slated to appear on the tour as well, no names have yet been released….but who really cares? It’s free! Read the whole article on Yahoo News.

Just when we’d all lost alot of hope for humanity after the idiocy in Boston recently, something like this comes along and slightly redeems things. Damn them for jerking our chains. Damn them!
