Non-Fiction Memoir
"They've said some crazy things about me over the years. I
mean, okay: 'He bit the head off a bat.' Yes. 'He bit the
head off a dove.' Yes. But then you hear things like,
'Ozzy went to the show last night, but he wouldn't perform
until he'd killed fifteen puppies . . .' Now me,
kill fifteen puppies? I love puppies. I've got eighteen of
the f**king things at home. I've killed a few cows in my
time, mind you. And the chickens. I shot the chickens in
my house that night.
It haunts me, all this crazy
stuff. Every day of my life has been an event. I took
lethal combinations of booze and drugs for thirty f**king
years. I survived a direct hit by a plane, suicidal
overdoses, STDs. I've been accused of attempted murder.
Then I almost died while riding over a bump on a quad bike
at f**king two miles per hour.
People ask me how
come I'm still alive, and I don't know what to say. When I
was growing up, if you'd have put me up against a wall with
the other kids from my street and asked me which one of us
was gonna make it to the age of sixty, which one of us would
end up with five kids and four grandkids and houses in
Buckinghamshire and Beverly Hills, I wouldn't have put money
on me, no f**king way. But here I am: ready to tell my
story, in my own words, for the first time.
A lot of
it ain't gonna be pretty. I've done some bad things in my
time. I've always been drawn to the dark side, me. But I
ain't the devil. I'm just John Osbourne: a
working-class kid from Aston, who quit his job in the
factory and went looking for a good time."
