That's what our episode today is about! I really enjoyed the doc as well even though I'm not super into their music, and gained a lot of respect for them.

Happy 35th anniversary to @livingcolour.com Time's Up! Here is a shameless repost of last week's episode, where we discussed both Vivid and Time's Up, and picked a "winner" between the two. (There's no loser, they're both amazing).

You could just tell that it was important to him to give that to fans, and to do one last show for them. It was almost like he couldn't be at peace until he did. It was a very brave and selfless thing to do, and has just really stuck with me.

But to end on a positive, BTTB was SO inspirational and brave of Ozzy, and it was the proper tribute he deserved. What a beautiful thing!!

If you pay attention since the Rock Hall has gone all in on the iHeart Radio stuff, there really has been a vibe at the last 2 ceremonies of "we can't have these icky old people front and center". I know that's harsh to say, but it really is how it's come across, and they need to hear that.

Hall Watchers @hallwatchers.bsky.social · Jul 28

It could very well be that! It's hard to know with the Rock Hall since they are so cloak & dagger about everything. Given they told Lou Gramm from Foreigner he wasn't allowed to sing the songs he wanted & they minimized his involvement in the Foreigner set, that's why I'm suspicious it was them.
