My dangerously whacky friend Don Wrege was often mistaken for Ozzy Osbourne, and he found that resemblance marketable when Ozzy’s celebrity was boosted by MTV’s reality series, “The Osbournes.” Don’s written a book about his Ozzy-clone experiences, called My Year as Ozzy, published by Mediawhore Press (natch) and available via Amazon. He gets five stars, so the book’s obviously not horrible.
