OFF: The Motley Fool advises Ozzy ;-)

[Paul Mather]

I thought this was pretty funny.  A recent e-mail newsletter from The
Motley Fool (finance/investment chaps) name drops Ozzy Osbourne:

>>>>>
Now, think about that. If famed rock 'n' roller Ozzy Osbourne would have
started a DRIP plan during his salad days with Black Sabbath, building
his savings as he went along instead of blowing it all on booze, drugs
and bad investment deals, he might not have had to have a prolonged solo
career into his 50s and later a Sabbath reunion just to keep his bank
account in the black. In fact, we recommend all heavy-metal stars set up
their DRIP automatic payment plans today.
<<<<<

I guess that advice also holds for Hawkwind and Lemmy.  In fact, maybe
if Dave had got his DRIPs going in the early daze, he could afford to be
more choosy about what gets released in the "collector's series..." >;-)

Cheers,

Paul.
