Jack Osborne, son of shock rocker Ozzy Osbourne, is working on a new documentary about his papa that he expects will rectify the damage done to Papa Oz's reputation as an artist that Jack believes resulted from the family's MTV reality series.  Ozzy refuses to write an autobiography, so Jack said he is making "a talking book" about his father's life (yeah, Jack, a lot of us call that a movie or a film - we got it). 

Many people who watched The Osbournes came away with the impression that papa Oz was a nearly senile, aging rocker who was suffering from the effects of abusing his brain with too many drugs and too much alcohol for way too long.  Jack told RollingStone.com, "I think The Osbournes, to a degree, tarnished the public’s perception of my dad as a bit of a senile, funny, bumbling guy...I think that almost discredited who he is as an artist."

Papa Oz was, arguably, one of the first goth rockers, following in the Doc Martined, animal eating footsteps of Alice Cooper.  Though not the first musician to push the envelope, he pushed the envelope in a completely different direction in the era of peace, love, and hippiness thus paving the way for the musicians of today who scream at you instead of singing to you (did I forget to thank you for that one Ozzy?) 

Jack wants start turning the "public's perception" of papa Oz around starting with a preview portions of the film, entitled John (papa Oz's first name in real life) for concert goers at OzzFest in 2009.
