 Wherever he
plies his trade, he brings his demonic vocal cords and a predilection for
kings, queens, magic potions, dragons, wolves, golden sceptres and all manner
of juvenile spellcasting bullshit.
Ronnie James Dio was the lead
singer of a short-lived metal band called Elf in the '70s. He is a terribly
short man with the strong facial features of a wizened leprechaun - thus the
band's name. He went on to front Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and his own solo act,
Dio, all of which are seminal groups for the serious headbanger. Wherever he
plies his trade, he brings his demonic vocal cords and a predilection for
kings, queens, magic potions, dragons, wolves, golden sceptres and all manner
of juvenile spellcasting bullshit. I love it all, even when I hate it. | Byron Kerman
