   The real reason the Osbourne lights will be out this year is there is no   
   place to put them.  They have MOWED DOWN the "facad" street part of the   
   tour, yes even the Golden Girl's house and will be replacing it with an   
   attraction to be announced at a later date.  Sorry kids, I saw it.  Just   
   there a couple of weeks ago.
