As those of you who follow my site know, I like to pay attention to more than just the well known stuff in Black Sabbath’s history. That means more than the Ozzy & Dio eras. I’m partial to the Tony Martin era, and Tony’s solo band has been the only way that era of Black […]
Various Things
November 7, 2009 by
Well, several things have happened since the last time I updated. I’m still deep in unemployment, unfortunately, and that’s kind of sapped my desire to the work on the site. In turn, that’s taken a hit on me, as ad revenue is down, and I really need that now, more than ever. So click on […]

The 2009 “The Devil You Know” tour is over now. As you probably have heard by now, Tony Iommi needs some surgery, and from what I can gather, that’s part of the reason the tour is ending now. They didn’t come to where I am, and it’s a pretty regular stop (Dallas, Texas). Anyway, my […]
