Is This Story Of Blizzard Of Ozz At All True?

Blizzard of Ozz was apparently meant to be a band, not an Ozzy Osbourne album.  I know, internets and Wikipedia and whatnot, but if even a part of is true, what's considered a "classic" "metal" album and the foundation of the incoherent rawk monster that became Ozzy Osbourne, Inc was really the creation of Randy Rhoades and Bob Daisley.  Ozzy didn't write the lyrics or the music for much of the album, and the other guys who were not Sharon Arden's boyfriend thought that they were forming a band with Ozzy and not just acting as his backup/enablers.  Then two of them got fucked before the second album was even released, and Randy Rhoades pulled a Thurman Munson and that was that.  No Blizzard of Ozz combo, and Sharon turned Ozzy into a blithering commodity.  Not that the album was anything great or anything, but the tale is a remarkable one considering how much money Ozzy Osbourne has brought in since 1980.
