I would say RIP but I suspect there will be no rest in the afterlife for the prince of darkness. One day we'll all join him, and until then we'll miss him on planet earth.
War Pigs is a genius song.
I had an awkward interaction with a older coworker of mine. He was real straight and nerdy and listened to Black Sabbath. I told him it was “Death Rock” because a lot of the songs were about death. He just looked at me like he was annoyed.
Another coworker later told me he listened to Sabbath because it was his son’s favorite band before he killed himself. Ughhh…I felt like an asshole.
@Studme53 - I understand. You had no idea, please don't be too hard on yourself.
I have done some dumbass things a time or 2 (I try to be careful) including an email that I forgot to exclude a big-time Broadway Executive Producer in Reply/All where one of her actors for a play we were supporting as a big fundraiser for a 501c3 I was treasurer when she said, "He doesn't like meet/greets..." My flippant responses to my folks was "Who the Hell does he think he is and who PAYS HIS SALARY via TICKET SALES!!!" (No, it wasn't Mel Brooks/"The Producers".) Yeah, I felt bad, fell on sword and made she the she knew this was my opinion, not my non-profit's. She actually kind of agreed with me, however I was out of line. The female actor was great and attend out meet/greet cocktail party, really was great. From that moment I've checked and re-check email when I do a Reply/All if there are those who should be removed. We brought in like $5 Large from the fundraiser.

I wasn’t a fan of Black Sabbath, but he came across as a pretty good guy sorry to hear about this.
