I saw Black Sabbath in Louisville, KY back in the early 1970's.

Black Sabbath is a group that is often credited for being one of the main pioneers of the Heavy Metal music genre.

Back when their first album was release, Ozzie played the open track of that album for his Mom. She sat stunned, and then when the track was over, asked him, ~are you on drugs?~ That was a story related back then.

From the album, Black Sabbath.

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
[Verse 1]
What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn 'round quick and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one
Oh, no!

[Verse 2]
Big black shape with eyes of fire
Tellin' people their desire
Satan's sittin' there, he's smilin'
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh, no! No! Please, God, help me!

[Outro]
Is it the end, my friend?
Satan's comin' 'round the bend
People runnin' 'cause they're scared
The people better go and beware
No! No! Please, no!

I've enjoyed (occasionally) Black Sabbath since 1970.

N.I.B. is a rocking tune.

This reunion will be absurd.
