Mike Calia’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

Started out on The Press of Atlantic City's copy desk, just about fresh out of college. My three-year tenure there was the only graduate course in journalism I'd ever need. Then I moved on to The Record of Bergen County's copy desk for a year before winding up at Dow Jones in 2008. Since then, I've been an editor, a writer, an editing writer, and a writing editor: breaking news, commentary, analysis, blog posts. I've also branched out into entertainment coverage.

Yet, McMillon's impact on the American consumer over the past 12 years is arguably as big, if not bigger, than any of those three.

Never say die: Ozzy Osbourne's life in photos

Ozzy Osbourne. (Chris Walter / WireImage) Ozzy Osbourne helped invent heavy metal with Black Sabbath. He then dragged the genre out of its doom-laden early days and into the glitz and glamour of the 1980s arena rock era, becoming a staple of MTV. Along the way, he struggled with demons, including alcohol and drugs, while batting away accusations of being a Satanist. Yet his "never say die" attitude always kept him in the spotlight, even during the years when rock was proclaimed dead.
