, “Crack Cocaine,” without listening to it. But the singer says it’s more nuanced than that. “The song’s not about crack cocaine,” the Prince of Darkness tellson a call from his L.A. home. “It’s about being in love with a chick. But it’s kind of what you might think Ozzy Osbourne would do. It’s, like, the two loves in my life: drugs and women.”
The song, like Morrison’s album, came about almost by accident. “During Covid, I was making music for no reason at all,” Morrison says. “I’d written a bunch of songs with Ozzy that don’t really see the light of day and I’m fine with that: I’m not trying to be Ozzy’s songwriter. But Sharon’s said, ‘That one song that you’ve got with Ozzy, you should release it as a single and do the whole thing: Do the video, do the press,’ which is a hugely generous offer.
Asked what he and Morrison have in common on a musical level, Osbourne just laughs. “Well, we’re both fucking crazy,” he says. Then he homes in on the song’s inherent bluesiness. “My roots come from the blues, so it’s kind of like a bluesy song,” Osbourne says. He sings the opening verse, “I love the way that your love makes me feel,” and says, “It’s kind of like a Muddy Waters kind of a vibe.”
“I wanted to present Ozzy in his best light,” Morrison says. “The truth is, everyone knows he’s gone through some hard times.” Osbourne has been off the road since 2019 after he, injuring his spine, leading to several surgeries. He has been doing physical therapy to get back into performance shape ever since. “Everyone loves to report on how frail he looks, and that’s just not true,” Morrison says.
