Sharon Arden (future wife), Thelma Osbourne (first wife). Supposedly the 2 loves of his life. I just read that recently somewhere, I forget where though.

On one of the Metallica 12" interview pic discs that came out in 1987 or 1988, they start asking what it's like to have Anthrax as the opening band,
and I think it was Jason Newsted says he always runs to the side of the stage when they played  "A.I.R." because it was his favorite song by them at the time.

I believe it was in Daisley's book, but it's a point of contention amongst fans--a lot of people swear they've read Ozzy claim it stands for Sailing Across The Ocean, which thematically fits the lyrics.

I really have no idea.

Not that anyone will care at this point, but I'm reading Scott Ian's book and he says that A.I.R. is indeed "Adolescences In Red". It was just a play on words from the classical music song 'Rhapsody in Blue' and has nothing to do with the lyrics or song itself. It's just a title.

Ozzy told the same names in "The Best in the World [At What I Have No Idea]" By Chris Jericho (Book - 2014 ) .
