When Rolling Stone starting running an Ozzy Osbourne advice column, there was no doubt much winking and rib-nudging going on at magazine's tony NYC offices. After all, the British rock wreck is a veritable compendium of shoddy lifestyle choices. His advice to the lovelorn and confused would be ludicrous and, if all went well, hilarious. But a funny thing happened on the way to the satire: Dr. Ozzy turned out to be thoughtful, helpful. I get about 10 mags at home, from the New Yorker to Entertainment Weekly, and Dr. Ozzy is my favorite feature in any of them. (Oz’s "advice" also runs in England’s Sunday Times.) Most of the letters are tough to print in a family paper. But a Maryland reader recently wrote in saying that a male friend was showing off provocative cell phone pix of a girl he was dating. Turns out the girl was the letter writer’s friend, as well. Should he tell her about the cell phone pix? Should he rat out his buddy? Osbourne responded: Send me the pictures and I’ll decide. Seriously, though, this ain’t a question of some bulls--- code of male honor. If she’s a friend, and you want her to stay your friend — tell her. Simple as that. See? Ozzy is all-knowing! Maybe the good doctor can help you too when he plays the St. Pete Times Forum on Feb. 18. To read more Dr. Ozzy (these from the Sunday Times), GO HERE.
