From my friend Kevin:When all heck is breaking loose, everyone prays….
Anybody of my age that was an old rocker was definitely dumbfounded when young Randy Rhodes (Ozzy Osborne’s guitarist) was suddenly dead from some freak accident in 1982. It was not his fault at all. If you’ve never read up on what happened, check it out.
Today I saw an old clip of him playing guitar so I looked him up and I found this particular paragraph rather interesting. It is regarding the shock and immediate reaction after the fact.
(the person mentioned Sarzo was the distraught bass player, who sought out a place to pray)
**In the hours following the crash, band members and crew called loved ones to assure them that they were safe, as news reports hadn't yet named the victims. Sarzo found a church near the hotel they had been taken to and went inside to pray. The church was empty aside from one man at the front, crying uncontrollably near the altar. Sarzo was moved by the display of overwhelming grief. Eventually the man cried out "Why? Why?" and Sarzo realized it was Osbourne.
