I Will Never Forget Ronnie James Dio
Really, I love the man.I never met him, I only have heard his music.I have listened to his words, and I feel his magic.People like to say that Dio was metal's Elvis.I disagree.Elvis was rock and roll's Dio.I've been listening to his music since I basically climbed from the womb into this abysmal thing we call a world.In all of my 22 years I have heard bands, liked them, and then they'd let me down.Not Dio.From his doo-whop until his last tour with Heaven and Hell (Black Sabbath by any other name) he has been consistant in his greatness.I'm not trying to sound like a fanboy here, but I truly loved the man.I can only rank him with people such as Gaius Julis Caesar and Augustus as far as greatness and the ability to command respect are concerned.The past few years have been hard for me, the one constant in my life has been Dio's music.I'm not gonna let this drag on into a 40,000 word essay on why I love him.All I will say from here is he is greatly missed in my family, and will live on until I die at least.He's up there in every rainbow that I see.Rest in Peace, Ronnie James Dio.
