Guitarist Tony Iommi spends most of the time hiding behind Ozzie Osbourne in this vintage video. Beginning at the 3m 54s mark, you get a brief glimpse of his famous finger prostheses; Iommi lost some fingertips on his right hand while working in a sheet metal shop at age 17. Despite the injuries, and inspired by Django Reinhardt, Iommi went on to commercial success with Black Sabbath. He was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. I'm going to read his autobiography, Iron Man.

Bastards of Young
The ones who love us best are the ones we'll lay to restH/T: bill of so quoted
And visit their graves on holidays at best
The ones who love us least are the ones we'll die to please
If it's any consolation, I don't begin to understand them...
