Rest in Peace Ronnie James Dio

Sunday, May 16, 2010 is a sad day indeed. Early in the morning, the news broke that Ronnie James Dio had  passed away after a battle with stomach cancer. Now, truth be told, I haven't listened to Dio or much metal over the past few years, but youthful memories of Rainbow, Black Sabbath and Dio cannot be ignored.  No one can deny that the 5'4" head banger, who created the devil horns, knew how to bring the rock.

When I see lightning - you know it always brings me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
Feel the magic -feel it floating in the air
But it's fear - and you'll hear
It calling you beware ...
