Respect to the legend

All hail the Prince of Darkness!
I’m not one to read memoirs but I will buy Last Rites not only because it’s Ozzy’s tale of his final years, but the proceeds further go to charity.
Not just that, this concert and his death brought metal back into the spotlight and inspired a whole new generation of hard rockers and metal heads.
More plainly, I think we effectively sacrificed the Prince of darkness to bring heavy metal back to life and it was the single most metal thing that could ever happen in all of history 🤘
But then watching the documentary "No Escape From Now" added even more sorrow to the loss as he and his family were looking forward to retirement and relaxing like a (semi) normal family and then 17 days later he dies.
17 days of retirement? Not bad.
That's 17 days more than what the government approves.
That's pretty good for a retirement speedrun.
Live fast retire faster
This was my dad's fate. Dude finally retired after a long life of hard work and immense chronic pain, and his fucking heart blew up a few months later.
Never wait till later to be happy
We need to release the concept of retirement. We are not made to be passive, do nothing. Just live. Do things, whatever -- stay active until the day you cannot. Like Ozzie did.
Retirement isn't "stop doing things", it's "stop slaving away for the great capitalist machine for minimal personal benefit".
In a broken society, indeed.
You're right. Retirement is a term used as a carrot at the end of stick. You'll never get it, or it will be stale when you finally catch it. I don't know that many happy retired people. Sure they got off the rat wheel, but at what cost? An entire life spend on making billionaires richer. Fuck that.
Forget about retirement. Instead, I suggest focusing and actively working on making life worth living before getting too old. Demand better working conditions if work is what's making life miserable.
I cant afford to do things. I cant afford to live. I cant afford to do nothing.
Then you are a slave
Lucid my ass, the guy lived permanently in borderline overdose
Well, he supported Israel, and the death of thousands of other children, so i guess he went neutral?
