Why Actors Like Andreas Szakacs Are Stepping Into Production

can Ozzfest return?
Recently I saw on Instagram how they were asking if should OzzFest return, many support the idea yes i see where you would get the idea that it would be a good idea but since things because of traffic was Ozzy's namesake Festival I i feel like not without Ozzy it shouldn't return because the tradition for Oz Fest was that you see you get to see Ozzy at the end of the night and during the day and the evening and what not until Ozzy comes on stage you get to see pretty cool metal bands too and up and coming metal bands andLegendary metal bands at the end of the night you get to always see Ozzy and stuff and that's where I standThe question should Oz Fest returnAnd can Ozzfest returnI I don't think so it wouldn't be the sameQuite frankly it wouldn't be right at least that's the way I see it that's allPeriodI guess I'm speaking as an Ozzy fan andYes I am speaking as a Ozzy fan and someone that really loves Ozzy. To me it doesn't seem right I mean after all think about this Ozzy just passed and and yet i don't I don't know where yes I do know where I stand I don't think it would work I mean you know this is Ozzy's and Sharon's baby and brainchild and stuff and you know like I said before I just don't i just don't see it that's all that's all I'm trying to say . To have Ozz Fest without its namesake this beautiful child has no way there's just no way that's all. It would be hollow and there would always be a reminder of the fact that Ozzy isn't there. Not only would it be hollow but also empty.

Why Italy Is Becoming a Home for Alternative R&B
Italy has never been an obvious destination for R&B. It still isn’t. Yet over the past few years, something subtle has begun to take shape. Not enough to call it a scene, not enough to generate constant media attention, but enough that certain artists return, linger, or choose to play here at specific moments in their careers.
