R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio

He passed away yesterday from stomach cancer.

Sad. F'ing sad.

I grew up listening to Dio, never stopped. The man had the best voice in metal ever.

I spent many a night playing Advanced Dungeons and Dragons listening to Dio non-stop.
The world was definitely a better place for having him.

Somewhere in the midst of all the boxes of crap, I still have my Dungeon Master's Guide, Monster Manuals, probably a lot of my old DM notes and my characters for when I wasn't the DM.
Had to learn to walk a very fine line, Dio on the radio but not too loud, smoking just enough to get a really good buzz going but not to where I couldn't pay attention, just enough tea to keep me going without getting sugar rushed...

Good times, man.

I still can't look at a crown royal bag without imagining filling it full of dice and grabbing my Dio albums.

Bugger!

I hope Ian Gillan and cronies make it over here for the end of May tour before one of them croaks...!
