Well it IS rather stupid.  Ozzy is playing with his usual band o' cheese,
while the Sabbath "reunion" is Iommi, Ozz, Butler, minus Ward, with Mike
Bordin from Faith No More (why?) on drums.  I am on the Sabbath listserv,
and this topic has been addressed a million times.  Everyone seems to
agree that this is NOT a reunioun, and is merely another money making
scheme. For goddsakes, all three members have been quoted as saying "I am
never going to play with those other guys ever again".  Plus, I sent an
e-mail message to Ozzy at WorldofOzz at aol.com, complaining that Sharon,
ozzy's wife and manager, is behind not having Ward on the tour (which she
says she has "certain", blackmail-type, reasons for).  I also added that
Ozzy is being pushed around by Sharon like David St. Hubbins was pushed
around by his girlfriend in _Spinal Tap_.  Anyway, he sent me back this
message:
