    He's been very lucky to have Sharon for her patience and positivity and support has been true honest and unwavering patience throughout his long life battle with drugs and alcohol. Ozzy's wife Sharon used to drinks and carry on close to what Ozzie would intake into his system at the beginning of their relationship which she new about being involved with Ozzie for years even before they eventually became the item they are today. Plus she's seen it all, with her Father- Sharon, being the record mogul producer and straight up mobster gangster Papa- Dapper Don Don Arden. He's the guy who taught Led Zeppelin's Manager a thing or 7 about the underbelly of the massively corrupt world of Music and Rock and Roll. And we know what Peter Grant of Led Zeppelin fame is all about and his road Manager partner Richard Cole.

    Joey Bishop used to tell a story. He took a hit from Dean's ever present glass of bourbon discovered that it was iced tea. Calling Dino an S.O.B., he realized that Dean had been faking out audiences for decades. Mr. Martin himself said in an interview that there was no way he could have done all of those recordings, movies and live shows drunk. It would have killed him.

    I started drinking vodka when I was 13, thanks grandpa, and smoking cigarettes. I went through periods of bee, wine, whiskey, but vodka is my favorite. I smoked marijuana while in high school. In the 1980's, while in college, I smoked marijuana, or ate it, and I smoked hash. I drink lightly everyday. I quit cigarettes 12 years ago after 37 years will be 63 years old in December 2024 marking 50 safe years of consuming alcohol. I am an addiction counselor. We did lose so many singers way too soon. Thanks to records and CDs, their voices can still be heard.

    It's both fascinating and sobering to delve into the lives of these iconic musicians and see the toll that alcoholism took on their creativity, careers, and ultimately, their lives. It serves as a poignant reminder of the darker side of fame and the importance of seeking help for substance abuse issues before it's too late."

    I was aquainted with "Vinny" in Pontiac Michigan where he lived at the time, just before the release of the single "I'm eighteen". He funded the beginning of his career by selling quaaludes. He was as much a downer as his pills. Vinny was an occasional visitor to a home we hippies called "the Pontiac House". I never took quaaludes (I was religiously a pot head) nor ever liked Alice either.
