Too much Ozzie

By adamg on Wed, 11/23/2005 - 3:47pm

Borderline doesn't understand why WBCN and WAAF insist on playing so much Ozzy Osbourne - it's not like their 18-34 demographic is going to know him as anything other than that kooky reality-show guy:

... There are not enough 40-year-olds out there who will wax nostalgic while listening to "Crazy Train" in their Altimas as they drive home on the Pike.

And besides, if you're going to play something from 1982 during peoples' commute, wouldn't The Cars be more appropriate?

Ozzys music is quite popular to teenagers now. Along with many other classic rock bands, led zeppelin, aerosmith, guns n roses, jimi hendrix and someothers. My friends and I all know him for his music more than the show. Some of the less educated kids like rap.

oh dear, GnR is considered

i just meant that we're not obsessed with rap, and other new crap, yes GnR isn't really classic, i was corrected.

Screw the demographics

If they're going to be playing some Ozzie, I'd prefer stuff from the first 4 Sabbath albums. It was all downhill after that.
