Opinion on Greta Thunberg
The Black Sabbath singer also talks about going vegan.

During an appearance on Good Morning Britain, Ozzy Osbourne and his wife/manager Sharon talked about fame, regrets, going vegan, Greta Thunberg, politics, and more.

Ozzy has a new album out titled "Ordinary Man." You can check out a part of the conversation below (transcribed by UG):

Those who’ve never been fortunate enough to be a rock star, walking out to a stadium with 80,000 people going crazy, what is that like?
Ozzy: "When you go on stage and you’ve got that audience in your hand and you can feel that love and vibe, there are no drugs, there is no sex, there is no drink, nothing can come close to that feeling for me. "

What do you think about Meghan and Harry leaving Britain, leaving the royal family?
Sharon: "I am sad for Harry. I am very, very sad for Harry because for me, I don’t think that as a couple they gave it a really good shot because 18 months of marriage and trying to find your place within the Windsor family and within the public’s eye, 18 months isn’t enough."

Ozzy: "The thing is: if Harry and the lady are in love and they like what they’re doing, and they’re happy, fine, but they don’t have to stay anywhere."

Sharon: "He’s left his country and I feel very sad, I really do."

Ozzy: "What do you do there? He’s not gonna be king, he’s just gonna be Prince Harry."

Sharon: "Yeah, but he did a lot of good, he did a lot of those charities."

Jeremy Corbyn, he wanted to be family…
Sharon: "I loathe Jeremy Corbyn. I think that Jeremy is the devil, and I think his party… I loathe him."

What do you make of Boris Johnson?
Sharon: "He’s an eccentric. I don’t like what he’s trying to do with the press, doing the Trump thing, ‘You can come in, you can’t, you can.’ If he starts that, oh, it’s over."

This country, America, can it take four more years of Trump?
Ozzy: "When he wins – I’m sure he’s gonna win now, I don’t think there’s anybody else to get there."

Sharon: "All I know is that he’s taken politics down to a level that I don’t think it should be at. I think that you should be able to debate on the subject, not take personal shots. He shoots from the hip, and the thing is he has done some good things, but as far as a representative, I would rather have Obama."

Ozzy: "He gets things, he gets everybody moving, whether you agree with him or not. I don’t understand politicians, they all should form one big huge rock band and see how they play."

Sharon: "Oh, he’d try anything, Trump, if there is an audience."

What do you make of Greta Thunberg?
Sharon: "She’s amazing."

Ozzy: "She’s cool, but why do we have to go, ‘Oh, we’re listening now,’ when all the adults for ages have been going…"

Sharon: "I think because what she states is: ‘You’re all gonna die, but it’s affecting my generation,’ and I think the world needed that from somebody of her age because you know that she must have a huge army of people behind her."

Ozzy: "She didn’t sound like it comes from her. It’s too well put together for a young kid."

You dabbled with being a vegan for two weeks…
Ozzy: "No, half a day. [Laughs] ‘Oh, Ozzy’s vegan! Oh, he’s vegan!’ Get over it. I thought I might as well join the club but, ‘Ah, screw this, get me a bacon sandwich.’"

Ozzy, do you have any regrets about your life?
"We all have regrets. I regret not taking care of my parents more than I did… That thing I was with different women and whatever, I really regret that. The guy that I am now, forget the injury, I’m not that guy anymore, and Sharon always said this about me, I’ve always tried to better myself."

When you do finally leave this earth – god forbid, hope it’s a very long time to come – but when that comes, what would you like your epitaph to be?
Ozzy: "’Bats taste like shit’."

Because he’s so far above tribalism in politics due to his status and he’s too spaced out to fall for all the BS they are shoveling so he sees it for what it all is.

I never really had a thought about where Ozzy and Sharon must end up on the political spectrum, but I’m honestly not surprised to see a little evidence that they’re pretty middle-of-the-road. Ozzy doesn’t seem to care enough to lean much in either direction and Sharon just seems to have mobility between sides. It’s kind of nice to see considering that every other celebrity is either hard right or hard left.

I think most sensible people are middle of the road. I would say I hold majority progressive views but am conservative on a couple of things. I do not choose the views which pander to one of the parties, I hold the view which makes sense for me then I see if any party is able to cater to that.

I think she sits in the middle mostly because of two comments. There’s not a lot to go by in here, but she seems to pick who she likes based on the person rather than the party. 1.) She said Trump has done some good things, she just preferred Obama. If we want to talk about hard leaning beliefs, most liberals wouldn’t treat the two in such a laissez-faire way. 2.) She loathes Jeremy Corbyn. Corbyn is a part of the Labour Party in the UK which is equivalent to the Democratic party in the US. The labor party often even leans into socialist beliefs, a la Bernie Sanders. So it’s a considerably far left liberal party, as well as all of the representatives in it. She didn’t say she quite liked Boris Johnson either, so that is another good clue that she tends to pick her preferred representatives on an individual basis rather than by party.

"She didn’t sound like it comes from her. It’s too well put together for a young kid." I don’t expect Ozzy to do everything on his own either. Does that tell anything on his relevance? Every group has a team and a face. Ozzy is the face and he has a team. Both Ozzy and Thunberg started on their own and gathered support. At this level of popularity, no one can do it alone, certainly not Ozzy, certainly not Thunberg. I don’t know what’s wrong about that.

Furthermore, who’s to say what young folks can and cannot accomplish? I’ve had teachers and professors who didn’t believe that I could write at the level I did until in-class essays and writing assignments proved them wrong. When I took the GRE in my senior year of uni, I ranked in the 95th percentile (the highest possible) for the writing portion. Greta backs up her beliefs with precocious articulation. Yes, that is rare, but it is not impossible. Having provided the world with evidence of her intellectual capacity, she rightfully garners respect. Detractors take snippets and criticize like utter children unable to digest the totality of her stances. That is nothing new, but many critics render her youth itself as suspect. Superfluous. Productive discourse involves genuine and critical analysis. Those who engage in that simply do not garner the same number of clicks when compared to half-wit talking heads eager to hear their own voices.

You’re kinda mixing some rhetorical details with your point. An artist and a spokesperson aren’t the same. Could be both, of course, but there’s the artist dimension (professional in this case) and the personal dimension. Greta’s persuasion is political, so she’s putting her self on the media through formal discussion instead of aesthetic sensibilities that go further than logos. pd: sorry if my english is confusing btw.
