I apologize for the crappy pix. I figured, “what better day to share these pix, than the 1 year anniversary of Ozzy’s passing”?
Back in May 1986, my brother Martin Turner & I got to go see Ozzy at The Salt Palace. He had some band called Metallica opening for him. I say it that way, cuz we had ZERO clue who they were prior to the show. Anyhow, my brother had a good 35mm camera and lens, and we were able to sneak it in. We were both blown away by this Metallica band, and became fans instantly.
This night changed me. Little fifth grader got to go to his first concert, and damn it was a doozy. Oh yeah, and we can say that we got to see Cliff Burton play live.
R.I.P. Ozzy… Thank you for the soundtrack to my life.
