DUBYA LOVES OZZY

This one's true: SCARY or what? George W Bush has invited Ozzy Osbourne to dinner at the White House. The war-crazy US President is a big fan of the heavy metal star who once bit off a bat's head during one particularly wild stage act. And Mr Bush is hooked on Ozzy's MTV show The Osbournes - a fly-on-the-wall docusoap about life in the singer's Beverly Hills home. An example of American class? http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/allnews...l&siteid=50143

american class... may I remind you that Ozzy is a Brit?

It takes one to know one.

We love the Osbourns..all of our friends love the Osbourns.So what???????

The biggest offense is you calling President Bush "war crazy"...what a fool you are! Uncle Sam

Reminds me of Nixon inviting Elvis to the Whitehouse. Read into however you want. Uncle Sam you are still a uneducated dangerous mean old man. May you reap all of George's actions.

Now we have these little yuppy snotwads trashing *Real* rock and roll. Rock n rol is loud guitars!! Bush's liking Ozzy is totally cool. Now go listen to the Pet shop boys and leave the rock to the big dawgs!!

Can't figure out what the point of this posting is?? Don't think this has anything to do with travel but Lord only knows that President Bush needs and deserves some "down time" doing whatever he enjoys!! Carol

Not my words, just the reporters. Oh yeah, W's a man of taste and refinement. Realize the implications: C average at Yale, which he admits to crowds of impressionable youth, arrested for drunk driving and drug possession, AWOL from the National Guard, an association with ENRON dating back to the mid 1980s, totally bereft of experience or qualifications for the most powerful job in the world. Why worry? Be happy.

Since the subject is on rock n roll. Here is the my top 10 rock songs of all time. #10 July Mornig....Uriah Heep # 9 Crosstown Traffic..Jimi Hendrix # 8 Rock n Roll ain't noise polution # 7 Bring your whiskey home.. Van Halen # 6 In memory of Elizabeth Reed. Allman Brothers #5 How many more times... Led Zeppelin #4 Night Prowler ...AC/DC #3 Dazed and Confused.. Led Zeppelin #2 Stranglehold...Ted Nugent #1 Dirty Deeds done dirt cheap..AC/DC Don't tell me that rock n roll isn't international!!

Well Sam, if the shoe fits...... Who's going to profit from a war in Irak? Why, the Carlyle Group, poppy's little business. Tony Blair doesn't seem too thrilled at present. Don't be so ridiculously naive.

And here I thought this was the family values administration..... WRONG.

Rocker--you like some old passe music. I mean some of it is good music, but don't you think you might try sometjing new once in a while. Brit--can you really talk with that stuffy old nazi hag Thatcher you produced. I wonder how Bush's white right wing christian allies will view their holier than now man (the former drunk and coke head sinner) watching this "immoral" trash! Only an idiot would enjoy watching that fat slob osbourne.

Jack, I like some of the Stone Temple pilot's work. Afterall, they are-were a rock n' roll band. Most of the crap on radio today is mellowed out pop music passing as rock. Other newer bands I liked were Jnes's addiction, but they disbanded! Long live stations like 107.7 the Bone on KSAN FM in Sanfran!!

A few fun facts: Eighty-four years after the "war to end all wars," George W. Bush seems hell bent on starting a "war to end all peace" and our government is pursuing a nuclear arms policy that make Dr. Strangelove look like a sissy. We have a president who believes that the people's business is none of the people's business. We have an Attorney General who considers civil liberties to be an annoyance (and calico cats to be a sign of the devil). Our president is pushing for the adoption of a permanent wartime budget, which will neglect domestic needs while substantially increasing the already huge national debt we are so generously passing on to our children. Our national parks and wilderness areas are now under the stewardship of people who have never seen a tree they didn't think would look better as a stack of lumber, or a wilderness area that wouldn't look lovelier with a nice assortment of oil derricks. We are being led by people who honestly believe that the principal economic goal of the federal government should be to help rich people get richer. We have a president who also believes that Congress should stop bothering him while he's busy running the country. And by the way, all of this is being done by a president who didn't actually win the election. This is no time for silence. IT'S TIME TO ROCK 'N ROLL.

I love the Osbournes!! Am I the only one who sees the irony in Ozzy Osbourne, his wife and two kids and Ozzy Nelson, his wife and two kids as a TV program? The difference is "The Osbournes" is REAL and "Ozzy and Harriet" was FAKE. I'll take the foul-mouthed Osbournes over the homogenous, facile, cookie-cutter Nelsons any day.

You mean you didn't know Ozzy Osbourne's a stage name, and a pun on Ozzy Nelson? Duuuh. Trash TV targets the undiscriminating. BTW Ricky Nelson could rock.

"Laughing" you call Garden Party rock? Blech.

Love the Stones. Just pointing out the irony. The Nelsons were good folks during white-bread time, and Ricky, God rest his soul, cut loose. It was a kinder, gentler time.
