pWotD Episode 3003: Ozzy Osbourne Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 4,196,481 views on Tuesday, 22 July 2025 our article of the day is Ozzy Osbourne.John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne (3 December 1948 – 22 July 2025) was an English singer, songwriter and media personality. He rose to prominence during the 1970s as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, during which period he adopted the nickname "Prince of Darkness".Osbourne became a founding member of Black Sabbath in 1968, providing lead vocals from their eponymous debut studio album in 1970 to Never Say Die! in 1978. The band was highly influential in the development of heavy metal music, in particular their critically acclaimed releases Paranoid (1970), Master of Reality (1971), and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973). Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath in 1979 due to his problems with alcohol and other drugs. He then began a successful solo career with Blizzard of Ozz in 1980 and released 13 studio albums, the first seven of which received multi-platinum certifications in the United States. He reunited with Black Sabbath on several occasions. He rejoined in 1997 and helped record the band's final studio album, 13 (2013), before they embarked on a farewell tour that ended with a 2017 performance in their native Birmingham.Osbourne sold over 100 million albums, including his solo work and Black Sabbath releases. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Black Sabbath in 2006 and as a solo artist in 2024. He was also inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame both solo and with Black Sabbath in 2005. He was honoured with stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Birmingham Walk of Stars. At the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards, he received the Global Icon Award. In 2015, he received the Ivor Novello Award for Lifetime Achievement from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.In the early 2000s, Osbourne became a reality television star when he appeared in the MTV reality show The Osbournes alongside his wife and manager Sharon and two of their children, Kelly and Jack. He co-starred with Jack and Kelly in the television series Ozzy & Jack's World Detour as well as The Osbournes Want to Believe with his wife Sharon and son Jack.On 5 July 2025, Osbourne performed his final show at the Back to the Beginning concert event amid ongoing health issues, having announced earlier in the year that this would be his last live performance, though he intended to continue recording music. Osbourne died seventeen days later, on 22 July 2025.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:20 UTC on Wednesday, 23 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Ozzy Osbourne on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Amy.

Bonus Episode #49 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Sean gush about the music, the lore, the mechanics, and the legacy of Mists of Pandaria, an expansion for World of Warcraft that dared to slow things down and ask players to reflect, rather than just react. With the launch of Mists of Pandaria Classic tomorrow, we're covering everything from the introduction of the Pandaren and Monk class, to the sweeping landscapes of Pandaria and its stunning zones, to the dungeons, raids, patch cycle, and of course — the evocative, culturally rich soundtrack that still stands as one of Blizzard's finest efforts. Whether you loved Mists at launch or skipped it entirely, this episode is the perfect way to rediscover (or preview) the magic just before the Classic release. Email the show at bgmaniapodcast@gmail.com with requests for upcoming episodes, questions, feedback, comments, concerns, or any other thoughts you'd like to share!

We talk about the return of Goteh Ntignee to Cavalry FC. After a couple of seasons in France, he's back to reclaim a starting spot up front. Can we expect a more seasoned player after being in Europe for a couple of years? Or will his lack of playing time in France have affected his confidence? Ntignee won't be available for the Cavs match on Sunday vs Valour. We preview this match and discuss Cavalry's domination over the Winnipeg side over the history of the CPL.Calgary Wild has another home match on Saturday, this time against the Ottawa Rapid. This match could vault the Wild ahead of the Rapid in the table. We discuss the match and what we expect to see this weekend.We also preview Friday's League One Alberta matchups, including a huge doubleheader at Broadview between Blizzard and St. Albert.Subscribe to our Substack or follow us on Twitter/X or on Instagram or Bluesky.Our website is yycsoccer.com

Highlights from the Fishers Freight's 57-56 victory over the Green Bay Blizzard. Andrew Smith, Jim Leisure and Eva Hallman on the call.
It's a blizzard party. A group of friends at a house, getting drunk, before they all drive back home. By 2AM, the snow is coming down hard and the party goers have left for their own homes. Only the residents of 34 Fairview Road remain. At least that's what they say. Within just a few hours, the frozen body of John O'Keefe is found outside on their lawn. Laying in the snow. The best way to figure out what happened to John O'Keefe is to talk to every single person inside the house for the ‘blizzard party'. But ‘hos' can authorities have a proper investigation if all of them are evasive? Nobody wants to answer any of the questions directly and their stories aren't adding up. Most importantly, what about the allegations that every single person inside of the house that evening may have a motive to harm John? Are they telling the truth? Could it really just've been John's ‘jealous' girlfriend Karen? Did she really run him over in a fit of rage like all the party goers say? The authorities seem to think so. They take the residents of 34 Fairview and the partygoers at their word despite the mountains of evidence that point in a completely different direction. So the real questions are: Is Karen Read actually guilty or is it just because the residents of 34 Fairview are the most well-connected and powerful family in Canton?

Nada, que tenemos que seguir con el verano caluroso lleno de noticias lamentables y movimientos inexplicables por parte de la industria. Si ya el año pasado grabamos un programa dramático como fue el sonado cierre de Tango Gameworks y Arkane Austin, ahora vivimos otro nubarrón por parte de Xbox. Está claro que Microsoft está dejando el terreno libre para su futuro en el mercado de los videojuegos: Inteligencia Artificial, Call of Duty y Game Pass; dejando de lado la mano de obra humana; la creatividad y dos décadas de historia viva en la industria del videojuego por el egoísmo de gente vestida con traje. Echaremos de menos hablar tan a menudo de Everwild y de Perfect Dark, pero los tiempos cambian. Más allá de que se nos ha olvidado comentar sobre el videojuego de John Romero -Óscar está muy enfadado- entre otras cosas que siguen en el aire como la situación en algunos estudios en Blizzard, dejamos de lado para hablar del último gran exclusivo, al menos de forma temporal como ya sabemos, de PS5 como es Death Stranding 2: On the beach. Kojima en estado puro, para lo bueno y para lo malo. Por último, comentamos un poco un evento que ha ocurrido y uno que está a nada de ocurrir... o no. El State of Play de Ghost of Yotei deja claro que Sucker Punch quiere darlo todo en la secuela de su IP más exitosa. Por otro lado, seguimos como buenas pirañas de tierra esperando un Nintendo Direct que no parece estar tan cerca ¿O sí? La semana que viene habrá programa ya que hablaremos sobre Donkey Kong Bananza y lo que surja en la industria del videojuego. Este programa será muy especial ya que será el último de la temporada y por el momento el último que se grabará con los actuales compañeros.

“If you've got a whole room full of 10's, that's the 5…” We've all been there. Every one of us have experienced an album where it was “almost perfect” front to back, yet there was that one song that blemished its perfection and brought it down a notch. Granted, some songs may not fit relative to the context of an album and should have never been included to begin with, while others may have been played into the ground a quadrillion times to the point that even though it has become tiresome to listen to, “it's not like it doesn't belong” on the album. Basically, the most pressing points to ponder when evaluating whether a song is “skippable” or simply should not exist are: “If you take this song off the album, does it make it a better album?” “If it's 1980 and you're wearing your jorts and your tank top and you're at a Boone's farm bonfire…is it a bad song?” “Is this the song that made this album worse…?” Discover the most “prostate meltingly hot” thing a woman can wear, hear Beaker's favorite song to do at karaoke after a long day on set at The Muppet Show, and prepare to get “T.B.R” when you JOIN US for the “hysteria” surrounding THE SONG THAT SHOULD NOT BE as things get heated and hostile regarding GREAT METAL ALBUMS RUINED BY ONE SONG.

In deze aflevering van Side Quest duiken we in de onrust bij Xbox: wat betekenen de recente ontslagen voor de toekomst van Xbox, en zit er nog een toekomst in Game pass? Juliën heeft zijn gloednieuwe Nintendo Switch 2 binnen en deelt dé cozy game die je volgens hem niet mag missen. Nick heeft weer een aantal uur in World of Warcraft gestoken, dus is het hoogtijd om de toekomst van Blizzard's MMORPG onder de loep te nemen. We blikken vooruit op de nieuwe Superman film, waarvan de eerste reviews opvallend positief zijn. En ook de explosieve groei van anime op Netflix komt aan bod.

It's that slow summer time for gaming news, and the bad news rings loud and clear. The Microsoft layoffs have rocked the industry, stopping some games while they were deep in production. The company claims everything in the 2025 Showcase is safe, but what about the games we didn't see? In good news, Stop Killing Games finds its footing after a rocky start. Plagued with misunderstood goals and dismissive assumptions, it seems the EU based initiative has finally taken off after finding its villain. FF14 pulled a weird thing in there cash shop. We spent the weekend playing MTG. All this and more. Supportourbromance.com or you'll be thinking about cheesecake.

Episode 26 – HDYS Interview with Matt Rossi! Show Notes Welcome to Episode 26! – 2:03 A wide-ranging interview with games journalist and fiction writer Matt Rossi! I'm not even going to pretend to make a list of topics, but we talk about starting hit WoW career with his wife, how to approach WoW when your job demands that you spoil all new content as soon as it hits test servers, and his need to dive into lore in any game. Plenty of talk about lore and storytelling in WoW throughout the years and how the Wrathgate was a turning point in how the stories are delivered to us, the players. We even get into the true purpose of any fiction in our human existence. We also discuss Matt's ongoing visual disability, a form of blindness that he explains in more detail. July is the celebration month for Disability Pride, and in hopes of sharing awareness of disability and accommodations in video games, he explains how his severe visual impairment affects his play of Warcraft and other types of games. It turns out that flexible difficulty and voice acting are two great accessibility options. Developers take notice. Lightning Round! – 1:19:53 This round of 8 questions is not quick, but it takes the form of “Two Lizzes and a Joe (and a Cory)”. Outro – 1:31:13 Thanks to Blizzard for the amazing music and sound, to OGRE for intro/outro music, my lovely and supportive wife, and you for listening. Big thank you to Matt! BlizzardWatch puts out podcasts weekly and you can find Matt as a regular host on BlizzardWatch and LoreWatch. He also writes a column and other videogame coverage for the news site.

Summer's heating up but we are cooling things down--perhaps too much! In this episode of South Dakota Legends and Lore we learn about the blizzard that hit the Rocky Mountain and Great Plains regions of the United States on January 11, 1888. It became known as the Children's Blizzard or Schoolhouse Blizzard and caught most folks unprepared for the dangerous drop in temperature, high winds, and blinding ice and snow. We focus on (South) Dakota Territory survival stories and experiences, and provide additional reading suggestions.Voiced and edited by Adrian LudensSnowstorm sound effects by Dauzkobza, used by permission
