Yeah thats very true, I remember it being on a documentary and I mean, it wasnt just a give me your lunch money, apparantly they really gave him a good kicking. I wonder how ozzy actually was able to go back and work with Tony. After all the years of being kicked in by him.

I remember Ozzy talking about still being scared of him up until a little after the Reunion Tour. I imagine if something scares you as a kid, something legit, it sort of stays with you for a long long time.
I can't recall which Sabbath book it was, but Tony apparently hired a former bully at their school to come on as a roadie and toward the end of Ozzy's Sabbath days they were really hard on him.

He states in his book that some older kids pulled down his pants and messed with him, but not cock-up-ass or anything.

Ozzy was NOT molested as a child. No where does it say in his book that he was ever molested. Granted he was bullied at school but not raped
