He certainly has his moments, but I really don't see why people hold him on such a pedestal.
When I first ever listened to something by Ozzy which was around 1983 it was the song "Bark at the Moon" a popular single here with a video from his third album and even then I noticed how corny it all was, ever since then I guess I've always thought of him as a being an almost self-parody as well. Also the Rob Zombie comparison is a good one.

I frequently get christian names mixed up and usually spot it on the editing of the post. At least I got the other two right though.
