I never really thought there was much overlap with my Sci Fi habits. Thanks!

In the context of John's answer, however, Ozzy is ultimately the narrator and singer. As a black-box listener (sorry for the pun), the words are coming from Ozzy, hence.

Nevertheless, pretty damn cool. My sister is a huge Mountain Goats fan and pushes their stuff on me all the time; now I have something to push onto her!

I really dig The Mountain Goats, but I never would have thought to put them in the same sentence as Ozzy.

Like describing Cormac McCarthy, but forgetting to include The Road I guess.

/reminds self to listen to lyrics more closely in the future.
