OZZY OSBOURNE's Son JACK: 'The Osbournes' Discredited Who My Father Is

August 25, 2008

RollingStone.com reports that Ozzy Osbourne's son Jack is executive-producing an Ozzy documentary. According to Jack, his father — a severe dyslexic — "refuses to do a book, so this is more like a talking book, a really thorough autobiography." Filming began in January, and features interviews with all the principal members of BLACK SABBATH, the various incarnations of Ozzy's solo band, family and friends. But the trick, Jack says, is getting them to be truthful. "The hard thing is getting people to be honest and not have it be a fluff piece, because that's not what we're trying to do," he said. "I'm trying to paint a realistic picture of who my father is. I think 'The Osbournes', to a degree, tarnished the public's perception of my dad as a bit of a senile, funny, bumbling guy. Yeah, my dad can be that guy, but it's not him. I think that almost discredited who he is as an artist. My dad's not an idiot — he's nothing short of a genius, in my opinion. He does have huge flaws, and we're trying to really paint an honest picture of that."
