Stuck in the '80s Podcast

July 22, 2025 is the date where another legend passed over to the other side. Ozzy Osbourne. An 80s legend. A musical legend. A cultural legend. The Godfather of what we know as Heavy Metal. The Prince of Darkness. The notorious man our parents and grandparents warned us about.
