During the down time, Zombie returned to Los Angeles and directed not one but two videos, his own “Never Gonna Stop (The Red, Red Kroovy)” and Ozzy’s “Dreamer,” each of which will be seen early in the new year. In fact, he finished shooting both within one very busy mid-November week. “Never Gonna Stop (the red, red kroovy)” will be the second track and video spun off… Read more »
