John O. Lennon Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Great player & all but how's his name pronounced? Is it "Bozzio" (short "o")... ..."Bohzzio" (long "o", like in "Bozo")... ..."Botzzio" (short "o" & Italian "t/z", like in pizza)... ...or "Boatzio" (long "o" & Italian "t/z") ?

ihategarybettman Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Good question; I've never really thought about it before. I've always pronounced his name like "Bozo", but I now think the "true" pronunciation would have the z's said the way they would be in the word "pizza."

John O. Lennon Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 ...but I don't want to keep guessing. Surely there's someone here who's actually dealt with TB & who can say for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarsia Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 It's Bo - Z - O, I just listened to Frank Zappa's Titties & Beer which he converses with Bozzio ~ that would be Bo as in Bo jackson, Z like the letter, and O also like the letter. I would think Frank would know the correct pronunciation, no ? I'm Todbass62 on MySpace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
