Hours later this is still the funniest thing I've seen all day. It's like nailing someone for using the wrong there using the other wrong form of they're. Thanks man.

Almost exactly from some of what I remembering hearing. It was Ronnie's wife that was managing things and using the same disrespectful and shitty business model as Sharon Osborne. If you've read the GW interview ith Jake E. Lee he explains about people telling him that they were sorry to hear lost his job, so he calls Sharon and says he's hearing these crazy rumors and she's like "Oh my God. Yes it's true, you're fired."

I think it was common to the time and still happens, but it's a total shit way to do business. Especially since Sharon knows how tenuous Ozzy's career was after Sabbath. We think of both guys as legends now, but after their Sabbath stints they weren't guaranteed any lasting career. It was Sabbath that was the draw, and for Ronnie Rainbow/Blackmore prior. I just think it would have been better for everyone if the massive musical contributions of the musicians was acknowledged and duly compensated at the time of said creation. As it stands the only guy that seems to gotten a good deal with Ozzy was Zakk. With Ronnie? Who knows. Amazing freaking singer though.

There's an interview I read last week with Jake E. Lee where he said Sharon called him around 2005 to see what he was up too. It was basically an empty gesture so she could use it as leverage against Zakk to show him that he could be easily replaced with someone who could draw. These women play hard ball.

Also Jake is still a little miffed at Ozzy taking songwriting credit for the songs he wrote on Bark At The Moon. The music industry is full of evil. No wonder Jake got out of the business for so long.
