MTV VMA Ozzy Ozbourne Tribute

Last night was the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards- basically the one night of the year that MTV actually has music.

Here’s what stood out to me- YUNGBLOOD, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and Nuno Bettencourt paying tribute to the late Metal icon Ozzy Osbourne.

This is pretty damn good- enjoy:

First off- YUNGBLOOD killed it.

And how great was it to see Steven Tyler and Joe Perry sharing the stage again? Steven has had major vocal chord issues, resulting in the cancellation of Aerosmith’s Farewell tour. But I think he sounded great, considering his condition.

Oh, and according to Joe Perry- the famed Aerosmith guitarist- Aerosmith will most likely share the stage at least one more time. Not a full-blown tour as originally planned, but any Aerosmith is better than none.

Rock on!

The 80’s… what a time to be alive.

One of the best parts of the decade- aside from the music and fashion- is the fact that MTV was actually showing music videos non-stop, and it was absolutely glorious.

As a kid, and then as a teen, I would spend hours taking in the magic of the art that is the music video. I was tranfixed, really. To this day, I still love watching them, and ca, thanks to YouTube.

One of my favorite websites, ultimatelassicrock.com, compiled a list of the 30 best music videos of the decade… see if you agree!

“We Are the World” was my introduction to music when I was 3. It all started there…
