...calls “our lord and shepherd”: Ozzy Osborne.No less difficult was the selection of my stage name. I sought a name that would transform me as much as the dentists and kindergarten teachers who forgot their inhibitions and became “Shred Kennedys” or “Twisted Sisters” once inside a house of air.I ultimately settled on “Black Widow,” a handle I hoped would help devour my competition whole.
