(35,999 posts)Connected to him. Via my brother. I grew up with Theo.
And my dad wasn't the Black Sabbath demographic - but LOVED him from his reality show. Come to think of it - he wasn't a reality show guy - but one episode of him lamenting the fact that someone ate his burrito and he was hooked. Used to shake his head at his crazy town household and say "Story of my life". Then laugh - because some white man from England on the other side of the country was in the same hell he was in.

We should all be so lucky to have such a goodbye.

The rest is history.
Got a record deal right away and worked for 50+ more years.
