Music News: Black Sabbath Re-Unite With Ozzy For New Abum/Tour

And now for the "Who Cares" portion of this blog. It looks like the original Black Sabbath line-up (Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward) are reuniting for the umpteenth time in recent years and are set to record a new album with a possible tour to follow. And it was all about unfinished business, not the money. Who am I kidding? It's ALWAYS about the money! Anyone remember a couple years back when Ozzy sued Tony Iommi for the rights to the name Black Sabbath because Iommi decided to reunite with Ronnie James Dio on vocals and record a new album and tour, even though Iommi used the name for countless years AFTER Ozzy was fired in the late 70's, recording and touring with everyone from Dio and Ian Gillan to Glenn Hughes and Tony Martin? Yeah, me too! Anyway....if anyone cares you can click on the link to read the full story.
