Hard to imagine a parental advisory label on Weird Al’s music.
Music in recent years of some genres can be quite vulgar. Shop foreman had to forbid music in the shop that can’t be played on broadcast radio, some technicians like to offend others.

Over-protective, possibly. I started collecting Kiss albums at the age of 7, and I still turned out ok, lol!
The loss of talent in just one week:
Jamal-Warner, Osbourne, John Mayall, Hulk Hogan, Connie Francis last week.

Longer than that. I remember during my senior year in college that Frank Zappa’s Dirty Love came out. Filthiest song I’ve ever heard. Truly pornographic, but it played on commercial radio everywhere. The song was Zappa’s reaction to federal censors preventing his music from hitting the airwaves. The song met all their criteria and was incredibly filthy. Look up the lyrics and remember that the song was on commercial radio.

‘Ozzy Osbourne was the kindest celebrity I ever met’

My “still turned out ok” even with Kiss albums at 7 was in reference to the individual who wouldn’t let their kid have a Weird Al CD presumably at a much older age than that.

I’m sorry. I’m sure it wasn’t weird Al. I just couldn’t think of anyone else back then.
Not to step on anyone’s grief but I just can’t stand trumpet music. But I dislike saxophone even more. Room mate was a pretty good trumpet player and was in a band that was a hall of fame band in South Dakota in the late 60s. So a rock band but just don’t like horns.
That is the reason Osbourne had to leave Black Sabbath, you two have a lot in common.
How about Chicago! 
I love reading this thread.
Today’s usatoday dot com has an article titled
" '80s icons like Hulk Hogan are dying. Why it’s affecting us so much".
Ooh, we can take another turn. Just rewatched “To Wong Foo…”
Gee, did I get groomed?

Referring to vdcs chuck mangione not ozzey.
Ozzy Osbourne left Black sabbath in 1977, came back a year later and then Black Sabbath fired Ozzy in 1979 basically due to his unreliable and erratic behavior from excessive drug and alcohol abuse, It had been an on going issue, affecting his live performances and reliability during recording sessions etc…
I would not call myself a headbanger, but I do have the early Black Sabbath albums (Original printing) and some Ozzy CDs I keep in rotation in the gym. The No More Tears CD has the best for treadmill, stationary bike. Yoga? not so much
‘Black Sabbath fired Mr. Osbourne in 1979, shortly after he fell asleep in the wrong hotel room in Nashville and woke up — reportedly 24 hours later — to discover that he had missed a concert. ’https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/arts/music/ozzy-osbourne-dead.html
