Did Ozzy Osbourne actually snort a line of ants? Ozzy says yes, but Sharon isn’t sure

October 17, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Among the many legends of Ozzy Osbourne‘s storied career is that he once snorted a trail of ants as if it were a line of cocaine while on tour with Mötley Crüe in the ’80s. As for whether that story is actually true, that depends on which Osbourne you ask.

In the latest episode of The Osbournes Podcast, Ozzy and Sharon‘s son Jack asks his dad to confirm the ant-snorting incident. When Ozzy says the tale is indeed true, Jack turns to his mother, who replies, “I was not there, thank God.”

“I used to try and stay away from Mötley when they were with Ozzy,” Sharon says. “I don’t know, I honestly don’t know.”

“All I know is that I think it made their movie,” Sharon adds, referring to the 2019 Crüe biopic The Dirt, which includes a scene depicting Ozzy snorting ants.

Despite Sharon’s skepticism, Ozzy insists he did indeed snort ants.

“I did, I was there, I did it,” Ozzy says. “It’s my nostril … I was drunk, and I did it.”

Sharon adds that she thinks Mötley bassist Nikki Sixx is an “a**hole,” but Ozzy disagrees with that as well.

For what it’s worth, Ozzy’s guitarist at the time of the tour, Jake E. Lee, has denied that the ant-snorting occurred, though he did say Ozzy snorted a tiny spider.

October 17, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Bonnie Raitt made a surprise appearance at a special concert at Antone’s in Austin, Texas, Monday, October 16.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer took the stage at a concert benefiting bassist Sarah Brown, who’s been a member of the venue’s house band for the past 40 years. The show also featured performances by Jimmie Vaughan, Larry Fulcher and others.

The concert aimed to raise awareness of the Living Liver Donor program in an effort to help Brown, a friend of Raitt’s for almost 50 years, find a liver donor match. It also raised money to help cover Sarah’s pre- and post-transplant expenses. Additionally, a portion of the money will be donated to University Health Transplant Institute.

October 17, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale is considering getting the band back together.

The rocker revealed on the Totally 80s podcast that he’s thinking about recording a new album with some former bandmates, including Adrian Vandenberg, Doug Aldrich and Michael Devin.

“I’m soon to be talking with my band about the idea of a farewell Whitesnake studio album and to invite some former members to participate to make it more complete,” he says. “But I think rather than just farewell to this current chapter, it’s farewell to, you know, a lot of guys that have been involved. It could be interesting.”

He adds, “These guys are really inspiring to me. I’m not interested in trying to do it on my own. I see the big picture. It’s a collaborative band thing. I want the best for all of them.”

Graham Nash is the latest rock star to sell his music catalog. Variety reports the two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer has made a deal with Irving Azoff’s Iconic Artist Group, putting them in charge of his musical legacy.

There’s no word on how much his catalog sold for, but it is said to include his solo work and his music with The Hollies as well as his work with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and any variations of that group.

“I’m looking forward to working with the Iconic team on various projects to further the legacy of CSN’s music and my own,” Nash shared.

Azoff called the musician “an incredible talent and a true friend” and teased what may be in store for the future. “Without giving too much away, I will say there is a wealth of material in both Graham’s vault and the CSN archives that I’m incredibly excited about and fans will be too. Stay tuned,” he shared.

Two of Nash’s bandmates, the late David Crosby and Stephen Stills, also sold their catalog’s to Iconic: Crosby in March 2021 and Stills in June 2022. Neil Young sold 50% of his catalog rights to Hipgnosis in January 2021.

On This Day, October 17, 1980: Bruce Springsteen releases his fifth album, ‘The River’

October 17, 2023 by WDNY Radio

On This Day, October 17, 1980…

Bruce Springsteen released his fifth studio album, The River – his only double album to date.

The project was originally intended as a single album called The Ties That Bind, but Springsteen canceled its release at the last minute and wrote more songs. Retitled The River, the album’s 20 tracks featured a deliberate mix of fun, upbeat tunes and darker material.

The River went on to become Bruce’s first #1 album and contained his first top 10 hit, “Hungry Heart.” It has since been certified quintuple platinum by the RIAA

Many songs on the album became fan favorites including “Out in the Street,” “Sherry Darling,” the title track and “You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch),” with many becoming staples of The Boss’ live shows.

In 2015, Springsteen released the box set The Ties That Bind: The River collection and celebrated the original album’s 35th anniversary with a tour in which he performed the double album in its entirety.

Gucci’s Breath of Fresh Air is available for streaming on major platforms.

Britney Spears’ new memoir excerpted in ‘People’: “No more conspiracy, no more lies”

October 17, 2023 by WDNY Radio

Britney Spears‘ memoir The Woman in Me comes out on October 27, but you can read excerpts now at People.com. In an email interview, Britney tells People, “My fans deserve to hear it directly from me. No more conspiracy, no more lies — just me owning my past, present and future.”

Britney says she hopes the message fans get from her book is to “speak up. Be loud. Know your worth. Inspire people and most of all, just be kind.”

Here are some revelations from the excerpts:

-The first time Justin Timberlake kissed her was during a game of Truth or Dare at a sleepover with her fellow Mickey Mouse Club cast members.

-While filming her 2002 movie Crossroads, Britney says, “I didn’t know how to break out of my character. I really became this other person …I didn’t have any separation at all …I was someone else for months while I filmed Crossroads.”

-Britney writes that she shaved her head and acted out to “push back” on the constant scrutiny of her body. But once her conservatorship was in place, she writes, “I was made to understand that … I had to grow my hair out and get back into shape.” She also says her father “repeatedly told me I looked fat.”

“I became a robot,” she writes. “But not just a robot — a sort of child-robot …The conservatorship stripped me of my womanhood, made me into a child … [t]hey wanted me to be wild onstage … and to be a robot the rest of the time … It was death to my creativity as an artist.”

“Think of how many male artists gambled all their money away; how many had substance abuse or mental health issues,” she notes. “No one tried to take away their control over their bodies and money. I didn’t deserve what my family did to me.”
