A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

What about Ozzy eating a bat on stage?

Or when Ozzy wouldn't go on stage without a brandy glass full of M&Ms?

I'm sad that none of the other responses seem to have gotten the Wayne's World 2 reference.

We'll just have to beat them to deaf wif their own shoes.

So am I. We'll have to beat them to death with their own shoes...

Not ozzy. Van Halen.

That way they knew all the prep work was properly done by the crew: unsorted M&Ms = short on time, and it's possible something more important was missed.

I wonder if they ever thought that maybe the crew was short on time because they were too busy separating all of those M&Ms.

Purple Aki turned out to be real though.

It's quaint, right?

Not just any guy, but Marilyn Manson, who used to play Paul on The Wonder Years. I'm not sure what was more shocking, learning about this, or learning of Mark Paul Gosselaar's fatal motorcycle crash. Taken from us far too soon.

Shock marketing and the release of hyper gory “banned” vhs tapes was a big marketing tactic for music in the early 90s. There’s a great NIN documentary that covers this.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find out this rumor was somehow disseminated by labels.
