As I watch these In Memoriam videos from the 60's and 70's it is striking how many of the men died from heart attacks in their 40's 50's and early 60's. Another sizeable number died from lung cancer or emphysema - a testament to how many people smoked back then.

Bon Scott's death devestated Ozzy Osbourne to the point where he, too, wanted to kill himself by heavy drug use and whatever it took him to do so. Luckily, he got out of it long enough to write a song called "Crazy Train" and started his own hard rock band called Ozzy Osbourne and has never looked back since despite the next array of tradegies that would happen in the future. At 75, he's still alive and is not done yet.
