Hero
Well, as most of you know by now, Ronnie James Dio has passed away due to complications with his stomach cancer. He was 67. I think this is a wake up call for most of us who have been around heavy metal for more than the last ten years. Let's face it folks, our heroes are aging and death is inevitable.
Many people will be blaring Dio, Black Sabbath, Rainbow and Heaven and Hell in tribute, and I understand this, however, we need to remember his life in other ways too. I have been a volunteer for Relay for Life which is the annual American Cancer Society fund raising activity. I am going to continue my support for this activity as a living tribute, I suggest that each headbanger out there do something other than just remember the music, make a difference. You don't have to support the ACS, heck a lot of you are from England, Germany, Canada and other world wide locations, but give it some thought and help to stop these dreaded diseases, before we lose them all.
Okay, soapbox stashed, long live Metal.
