LOS ANGELES — Legendary metal musician, and noted septuagenarian, Ozzy Osbourne broke new ground when he became the first old white man to complain about a rap song and actually be on the right side of history.
“This is the first time we’ve ever seen a person of Ozzy’s age, wealth status, and complexion complain about a rap song or artist and actually be correct. Especially when they say it in an all-caps Tweet,” said music scholar Aiden Lawrence
The Hard Times is satire, literally the same thing as The Onion but another publication. This is the place for it.
Lots of satire is based on true events, that doesn’t make the article itself true. There is no music scholar “Aiden Lawrence”, the quotes from that person are made up.
Metalhead Tony Garcia is also made up to illustrate the joke. The true part is that Ozzy Osbourne tweeted with a good take. The reactions to it are fake to illustrate the authors joke, which is that an old rock legend having a good take on a rap artist is rare.
