The Early show reported that Ozzy Osbourne’s genes are being studied by scientists.
There has to be something to this idea. It has always seemed like rock stars go one of three ways–either the band breaks up and they get out, they die young, or they hang on forever. (Just look at Alice Cooper, Motley Crue, and the Rolling Stones.) If a scientist is going to do a study of the genetics that contribute to longevity, focusing on the survivors of rock and roll is probably going to lead to some pretty interesting results.
I just wonder what conclusions that they’re going to draw from analyzing Ozzy’s genetics. It’s rather frightening to consider that the next miracle drug–perhaps the salvation of humanity during some future pandemic–could be derived from Ozzy Osbourne.
