There's me thinking it was Alistair Crowley....
To me Ozzy was just a gentleman vocalist in a heavy metal band.

Had to look him up. I should think being an occultist nicknamed "The Wickedest Man In the World," makes him a good candidate for Prince of Darkness. The demon Crowley, in Pratchett and Gaiman's Good Omens, is named after him.

A fear of darkness led him to invent the lightbulb.....possibly.

In that sense, you're right. Crowley was a twisted f*ck.
Many say he was THE prophet of modern times.
I profoundly disagree.
The Joseph Lucas statement was a joke. All British motorcycles had Lucas electrics. Switches, headlights etc.
Back in the day, many of us at the Prince of Orange, in Chelmsford would come out of there half drunk, (bad I know, but that's how it was in those days), be racing to the next pub or home. I on my Triumph 650 and others experienced the same on their British bikes) would suddenly find myself find plunged into darkness, because of the unreliability of Lucas electrics, hence the joke.

Indeed. remember 2007 when 30,000 Hatton fans went to Las Vegas to watch him against Mayweather. Not many boxers can sell 30,000 tickets at home, never mind half way around the World. Ricky Hatton RIP.

Robert Redford. Always a very watchable actor and a promoter of independent film.

I'd be lying if I said that was one of my Christmas favourites.
He asked Warner not to release it - but knew they would. (I think he was glad they did).
Came across as a very decent, normal bloke in an interview I heard - and bandmates said he didn't really want to be out front, not one for the stardom.

The Pogues song with Kirsty MacCol, the Fairy Tale of New York probably edges it.
Must admit that and the Chris Rea sort of tie for me....but we can't all like the same things 😉
