R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio

 As he lay dying, Voltaire was asked to renounce Satan. Voltaire, to his ever-loving credit and wit, told the Chaplain "Now, Now, this is no time to be making enemies".
RIP Dio.



This Sunday, early in the morning, metal legend Ronnie James Dio passed away at the age of 67, after a long struggle with cancer. Fortunately, he was able to say goodbye to his friends and family, and slip off to the sunless lands in the comfort of his home. A staple of rock n' roll with Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell, and Elf, Dio popularized the horned hands in metal music. He will be missed.

Dio's "Holy Diver". A classic, and the benchmark of Dio's solo career.
