In the past month so many guys I know have died. Ronnie James Dio died of cancer, a guy from Slipknot killed himself…” quote by Ozzy Osbourne

“When I was 20 I thought I had the rest of my life. At 30 I was still relatively young. At 40 I was getting a bit dodgy. When you get to 60 youre on the downward slide. Im 61 now. In the past month so many guys I know have died. Ronnie James Dio died of cancer, a guy from Slipknot killed himself you have to live for each minute. In my youth Id wish my life away. I wish I could have them times back. But you cant.”
