one last thing before I quit

The beloved Ronnie James Dio has passed away this morning after a struggle with stomach cancer. It's very sad.

Despite my utmost respect for the man, I don't have a lot to say about the man. If you enjoy yourself some heavy metal music, than you know how he is. He was a marvel of a man that sang about the heavens, demons and medieval ways, all with a bunch of different bands. He'll also leave behind the legacy of the devil horn. His balding-curly-mullet hair cut was something as scary as some of his songs. His lyrics always had such a colorful description that painted such a clear picture of tales. But despite all of this, he is always describe as a humble man, that offers nothing but kindness to all.

I was introduced to him though the wonderful Tenacious D many years ago, and he hasn't left my playlists since. I was fortunate enough to see him play during his 3rd trek with Heaven and Hell (really Black Sabbath). I certainly won't forget that show. I firmly believe that the rock world just lost one it's best voices.
