It's interesting because about 2 weeks ago I started listening to Sabbath's discography in order during my commutes. Tuesday was the day I finished Never Say Die (Ozzy's last album with Sabbath until the 2013 reunion) and he died the same day.

It's crazy going back and seeing just how unprecedented their heaviness was in 1970. The first few notes of Black Sabbath (the song) must have hit like an absolute freight train. It's crazy to think that he's no longer with us, but honestly it's also a bit crazy that he lasted as long as he did, given how much he embraced the rockstar lifestyle. At least he got a send off worthy of his legacy with Back to the Beginning.

And then Hulk Hogan died too. While he's had his fair bit of controversies, and I certainly don't agree with or endorse a lot of what he's said or done, I've enjoyed his work over the years and am still bummed that he's gone.

It's no exaggeration to say that both of these men had an incomparable impact on their respective industries and that the world would not be the same without them.

Also RIP to Chuck Mangione, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, and everybody else we've lost recently as well
