Black Sabbath - Paranoid

“Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there
Why should we even care?”

An excellent question, Ozzy. Why should we even care? 

Black Sabbath is perhaps the originator of doom metal. A genre that most of us could probably do without. 

Considered an iconic album by people who appreciate things like the oral decapitation of small mammals, Black Sabbath’s Paranoid is truly an over rated mound of rotting bat heads.

A song that should have Marvel comics calling their lawyers tops the album off. It then has a multitude of animal moniker based names. War Pigs, Rat Salad, Ozzy admits to his animal eating fetishes.

Here's a test for all our readers. Name two more Black Sabbath members, without Googling and not counting Ozzy Osbourne.

Yeah, neither could I.

Paranoid is a perfect example of what a future serial killer thinks like. Confusing, filled with odd references that no one will understand, animal abuse, and a twinge of Satanism. 

I firmly believe that Ozzy would have been better suited starting up his own pest control business instead of going into reality television and becoming his own public service announcement about the hazards of constant drug use.

Yes Ozzy, he has lost his mind. He's probably blind with those ridiculous sunglasses. He can barely walk, as he totters about like a drunken infant. 

He looks like a zombie, so I don't know if he's alive. I'll always pass him there, in a puddle of his own urine asking for a dollar to get back to Milwaukee. And no Ozzy, nobody even cares.
