MY YEAR AS OZZY

AVAILABLE SOON

Between the summer of 2002 and the summer of 2003 Don Wrege took the wildest ride of his life. His uncanny resemblance to Ozzy Osbourne, and ability to act the part, bought him an 'E' ticket on a crazy train that led to television, radio and live appearances from coast to coast. Don found you can learn a lot about the nature of fame from the inside out, and had a hell of a time along the way.

BACKGROUND

People have been coming up to me for about two years now (way before "The Osbournes" ran on MTV) insisting I looked just like Ozzy Osbourne. Of course I'd been aware of Mr. Osbourne since high school in the early Seventies when my garage band tried to learn "Iron Man" but couldn't sound frightening enough. Our average age was 15... what can you expect?"

So many folks each and every week would come up and say to my face that I look "just like" Ozzy that I mentioned it to my dear mother, Who then watched about ten minutes of "The Osbournes" and was duly horrified. "Couldn't you look like someone else?" she asked. "Wasn't that your job?" was all I could think to say.

It's not my fault. I've looked like this for years. However, if Mr. Osbourne ever needs a stunt double, I'm there. Especially backstage after shows. You can count on me!

It started in the last week of June when the photos were taken and posted to the Web, but this has been a wild ride. So far I've been in five newspapers and appeared on national television four times, spreading the special love that is Ozzy Osbourne. By accident.

The first photos taken kindly by Povy Kendal Atchison. Thanks Pover. No retouching, no makeup (well, some black nail polish), no wig. I'm afraid I just look like this.
