Ozzy Osbourne and his son Jack recently guested on Conan O'Brien to talk about their show, Ozzy & Jack's World Detour. They got into a discussion about using digital technology, to which Ozzy admitted he was "rubbish" at it. Check out the interview below.
In the latest episode of Ozzy & Jack's World Detour, the Black Sabbath singer and his son visit Cuba where a guide takes them to a statue of John Lennon, reports Rolling Stone.
Fidel Castro banned rock & roll in the country in 1962 following the missile crisis, but made an about-face four years later. Decades later in 2004, Castro honoured Lennon in a speech that recognized the late Beatle's rebel nature, highlighting how the United States had sought to deport him in the Seventies.
In the clip, a guide tells the Osbournes that Castro personally attended the unveiling of Lennon's statue in 2000. Ozzy, who is wearing circular Lennon sunglasses, goes to inspect the monument. "That's really cool," he says. "They were saying it was banned and then he became a hero." Then he becomes emotional. "I'd rather have seen the real thing; that fucking asshole killed him."
Ozzy later tells his son that the statue was one of the highlights of their journeys together. When Jack asks Ozzy if he was "Team John Lennon" or "Team Paul McCartney," his father says, "Both. Lennon and McCartney for me were two of the greatest things that ever happened."
