The Times They Are A Changing

For some time now Sharon Osbourne has been in the list of “Hot Trends.” What makes her so popular. Sure she’s married to Ozzy Osbourne, but his name is not in hot right now. Sure, she’s one of the hosts of “America’s Got Talent.” But, the other two guys names aren’t hot right now either. She’s a woman who speaks her mind and is still likeable and I think she would have actually made a better vice presidential candidate than Sarah Palin. But, I’ll bet she’s not Republican, so she wouldn’t have been a choice for McCain. So, what does make her such a hot topic right now?

So let’s look at some facts which may give us a clue to Sharon Osbourne’s popularity.

* She’s rather short at 5’2”
* She’s British
* Appeared on “The Osbourne’s” and “America’s Got Talent” and the British “The X Factor.”
* There’s a slew of boring information about her kids, step kids and so on.
* Apparently she and Ozzy have a suicide pact so that they will die at the same time.
* She’s managed Ozzy Osbourne longer than the two have been married
* She was named the most important person in Rock according to Kerrang Magazine
* Dropped out of school at age 15

Oh sure, this doesn’t sum up her life. But there still is no formula here, as far as I can see, that tells us why Sharon Osbourne is so popular. It really comes down to the question of fate. Are certain people meant to follow a certain path in life. I’m not disputing “free will” which I believe we all do have. Yet, does fate play a certain part in a person’s future? We can all certainly attest to the fact that some bad actors have become very famous and some lousy books have been published. Many talented people never become successful in the field they choose to follow. Is it because those talents are meant for another path? This all not to say that Sharon Osbourne is not beautiful, talented and famous and perhaps it’s just her path in life to be acknowledged as so. Maybe she would have been famous without the notoriety of being Ozzy Osbourne’s wife.
