Letter to Sharon - Billboard Magazine

The following is a draft of the letter to Sharon Osbourne that will be
printed in Billboard Magazine once we have enough donations to pay for it.

Fans of Music and Decency
The World Over

Ms. Sharon Osbourne
Ozzy Osbourne Management
P.O. box 5249
Beverly Hills CA, 90209

Dear Ms. Osbourne:

Your behavior at the August 20th Ozzfest in San Bernardino was an
affront to fans of music around the globe. During the course of Iron
Maiden’s set you:

* Had people hack into the P.A. system.
* Recruited people in your organization to throw several dozen eggs
at the band.
* Had individuals rush onto the stage.
* Held the Iron Maiden mascot to prevent him from joining the band.
* Had the power shut down four times throughout the course of their
set.

Your attempts to sabotage one of your own support bands was juvenile,
offensive, and to be honest, dangerous to band and audience alike.
Despite these events, which have been well covered in the mainstream
press, Iron Maiden continued to perform. They appeared to be the only
people associated with Ozzfest to recognize that the fans paid upwards
of $150 to see the bands performing.

Whatever feud that exists between you and lead singer Bruce ****inson
should have been handled privately. If you found his actions over the
course of the tour upsetting, you should have talked to him, his
management or flat out fired the band for the remainder of their tenure
with Ozzfest. Iron Maiden are consummate professionals and standup guys.
Currently they are having a second fundraiser for the medical costs of a
former member who hasn't been in the band for more than 20 years.

Your complete lack of regard for the 45,000 people in attendance that
day is shameful. A full refund should be offered to all in attendance. I
don't know if the members of Iron Maiden would accept an apology from
you, but the fans sure expect one. I'm sure that a large donation to the
Clive Burr MS Trust would go a long way to help defuse this tender
situation and try to restore your client (and husband’s) credibility to
the music industry and fans the world over.

Any olive branch you can provide in this situation will be greatly
appreciated, as a boycott of the tour sponsors and all things Osbourne
is something that no one wants.

Thank you for your time,

John Farrell
Acting on Behalf of the Fans of Music and Decency

I'd contribute. She's an asshole.... If she did that to me, I'd have NO
class and would have beaten her down... but I'm from New York City...

My 8/26 post to AMD:

I have ALWAYS loved Sharon! I've had the good fortune to meet Ozzy
several times and a few of those encounters included her. Always
elegant, gracious, and charming, she was a joy to speak with and
immensely witty. So about the Iron Maiden affair...

I LOVE it!!! There arn't too many people who are bigger self-centered,
obnoxious, pricks as Bruce ****enson consistantly proves himself to be.

His instigating onstage antics are legendary, and the bastard got what
he deserved.

We'll be at Ozzfest tomorrow, and we are scheduled for a meet and greet

as well. I'm looking forward to telling Sharon just how much I respect
her actions.

You gonna meet up with her in Brazil too? You better protect her, I
hear people get killed down there. Give her a big ol' sloppy soul
kiss for the gang, willya?

Hugs.

Dude, you're messing with a Satanic Dio Superfan....be careful.

mother****ers.....TAXI!!!!!!!!!!

Satan get you, Hells Bells!

In high school I worked as a fry cook at The Waffle House. There was this
surly, grumpy mother****er who also worked there and he always wore a
pentagram. He claimed to be into black magic. I kept laughing at him, and he
threated to put a death spell on me. He told me "you won't make it home
alive tonight" once. I'm still waiting for that death spell to kick in.
Maybe satanic dio superfan can look him up and give him some pointers.

Dude, you just made huge points in my score book. Waffle House
****ing rules!!! If I'm not mistaken, if you work more than two years
there you get an automatic masters degree in anthropology. Who said
it that Waffle House had waitresses that looked like James Hetfield??
I always eat at WH when I'm in Dixie, or Cincy chili places. Of
course, my chol. levels are toxic, but I'm fat and happy.

Well... you will die one day and he'll be there to tell everyone he's
responsible....knuckleheads....to buy into a concept of choosing bad
over good....uhhhh...I'll take them over Jesus Freaks any day of the
week though. At least the glue sniffers are usually into Sabbath.
I can't imagine the frustration with reality that would lead
someone into any of that easter bunny gone evil bullshit. You want to
get down? Eat five hits of acid or a half ounce of shrooms, then
commence evil. Until then, when you're just another Hessian stoned on
the usuals, you ain't shit in the cosmic roller derby except another
shit eating douche in a world full of shit eating douches. Who has
some Xanax around here, I'm getting worked the **** up!!!!!!!!

In Christ,
