Igor Stravinsky wrote the music for a ballet in a Broadway revue produced by Billy Rose. Rose sent him a telegram:

BALLET GREAT SUCCESS, WOULD BE GREATER IF YOU RE-ORCHESTRATE IT

To which Stravinsky, not eager for the labor involved in re-orchestrating the piece, wired back:

OZZY -

“We lived together in a house in Los Angeles, rehearsed there, did loads of drugs and made an album: simple,” Osbourne told Classic Rock. “Those were good times.”

“At that time in America, people were very fond of lacing your drinks with acid,” Osbourne continued. “I didn’t care. I used to swallow handfuls of tabs at a time. The end of it came when we got back to England.

“I took 10 tabs of acid then went for a walk in a field. I ended up standing there talking to this horse for about an hour. In the end the horse turned round and told me to frick off. That was it for me.”

“We are buried beneath the weight of information, which is being confused with knowledge; quantity is being confused with abundance and wealth with happiness.
We are monkeys with money and guns.”

“I hate Disneyland. It primes our kids for Las Vegas.”

"Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock and roll or Christianity."
