Funny I have always told my oldest when anyone dies the great things about him or her. I want them to be remembered. I think their lives should be reflected even if just for a brief moment.
Ronnie James Dio passed away on May 16, 2010. He died less than a year after being diagnosed with stomach cancer. 67 years old. A great span there Dio.
He was a heavy metal rocker with a heart of gold I hear. Not your average metal head. Of course metal was misunderstood at his peak I think by most adults. If you ever heard him sing you could recognize his voice. He was a powerhouse! It was almost like he was meant for opera. His songs were always about good overcoming evil and his onstage act showed the same. Slaying the dragon with his sword taking his audience back to medieval times.
He is also credited with inventing the devil horns hand gesture he mocked from his grandmother which she called the evil eye.
Funny how someone not known by many was such a great man in so many ways. A true Rainbow in the Dark. Hold your devil horns up high and clear your throats guys-Your gonna wanna sing along...Until then.
Keep Rockin (Remembering)
