Tony Iommi’s Daughter
October 5, 2004 by
Something that’s always come up over the years is questions of the various Sab member’s offspring. Ozzy’s are rather well known, but the other guys are more secretive. I know of Bill Ward’s kids, but at the request of Bill, I don’t talk about them. Tony Iommi has also been pretty secretive. He mentioned in […]

More Book Stuff
September 18, 2004 by
It’s also been brought to my attention that I have not posted a review of the book “How Black was our Sabbath: A View from the Crew”. One of the authors (David Tangye) was kind enough to send me a copy of his book awhile back, and I read it. And loved it. It’s a […]
