Ozzy Osbourne was the kindest celebrity I ever met

I wore a shimmering, faux snakeskin, mid-calf-length, silver-and-black cape to the Ozzy Osbourne interview I did for Mean, a style and culture magazine in Los Angeles. It was 2005, 'The Osbournes' was the most popular show on MTV, and Ozzy was about to release a retrospective box set (of compact discs). After a childhood spent listening to Black Sabbath and teen years spent playing Sabbath-inspired hardcore in a high school band, I figured wearing the cape was only appropriate.
