In this special tribute episode of Boots and Beats Review, I reflect on the life and legacy of Ozzy Osbourne — the Prince of Darkness himself — who passed away on July 22, 2025.
Even though I didn’t grow up listening to his music, I always knew who he was. And now that he’s gone, I understand just how big of a space he filled in rock, in culture, and in people’s hearts.
I break down the meaning behind two of his most iconic songs — Crazy Train and Mama, I’m Coming Home — and what they say about the chaos, the pain, and the heart behind the madness.
This episode isn’t just for lifelong fans — it’s for anyone trying to understand why this loss matters.
Rest in peace, Ozzy. You may be gone, but your voice still echoes.

In this episode of Boots and Beats Review, Dylan unpacks the timeless meaning behind Billy Joel’s Vienna — a song that’s quietly taken over TikTok and speaks louder now than ever. From Joel’s reflections on aging and slowing down to Dylan’s journey toward Italian citizenship and songwriting, this episode is about stepping back, breathing deep, and realizing life doesn’t need to be rushed. Vienna waits for you — and so does this conversation.

In this 10th episode special of Boots and Beats Review, Dylan gets personal. After his first guitar lesson and a peaceful horseback ride, memories start to resurface—just like in HARDY’s emotional track “favorite country song.”

Join Dylan as he breaks down the raw honesty of the lyrics, shares how music can carry both joy and pain, and reflects on how songs (and saddles) can hit different over time.

Whether you're riding trails or strumming strings, this one's for anyone who’s ever loved a song that now hurts a little too much.
