    Dammit... I knew you were gonna say Dio when I saw the title of the post. I knew he had cancer, but hadn't seen that he died today. Sad day indeed. Gonna go crank Rainbow in the Dark now.

    I loved his music from his work with Rainbow, his days with Black Sabbath, and his solo work. Three of my favorite hardrock/metal CD's- Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules, and Holy Diver.

    RIP.......

    That's sad. He's made a lot of major contributions to the world of music.

    He's Holy Divin' up in Heaven now though.

    Sad news indeed. One of the benefits of living in Los Angeles is hanging out at places like the Rainbow Bar & Grill on Sunset. Ronnie was a regular there and a great guy off stage as well as on....

    RIP.......
