Jack shows Ozzy and Sharon of videos of unexplained events to see if they believe in aliens and various superstitions. Having seen this show the dementia seems a little more obvious. It could also be both. It is a funny throw away line. ---

I’m from Des Moines, and while I was not at that concert, I’ve known a lot of people who were, and they have all said that the story was true. The next day, the newspaper said that younger ER staffers were “explaining Ozzy Osbourne” to older employees who didn’t believe the story. Nowadays, I could picture older employees explaining him to younger people who didn’t believe it. ---

He made pretty much the same joke back in '88 on The Decline of Western Civilization: The Metal Years. [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NAuOTSNXNBo/hqdefault.jpg "The Decline Of Western Civilization part 2 The Metal Years sub en español") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAuOTSNXNBo)
