"If you absolutely had to,” a tipsy Sharon Osbourne asks me sweetly, “who would you rather sleep with – my husband or her husband?”
It’s late evening in early April 2001, and I’m in a hotel room in LA with Sharon Osbourne and Gloria Butler, the wives and managers, respectively, of Ozzy Osbourne and Geezer Butler. Black Sabbath are in town to play the first-ever ESPN Action Sports And Music Award at the Universal Amphitheater, and I’ve been flown over here to cover the event and interview Ozzy for Kerrang! magazine. I hadn’t been briefed that sleeping with one of the Godfathers of Metal would be part of the assignment. When around the Osbournes, however, you should expect the unexpected.
