Tell you what. For the lifestyle he led, 67 is a good age to go!!

RIP Ronnie, your contribution to music is huge.

Hey James, long time no hear.

I don't think his lifestyle was that bad, compared to ... let's say, Ozzy.

TODAY HEAVY METAL DIED !!!

Hi Zoran, been lurking around!

As for RJD, they were all known for their "excess"!

Hope you are well,

Yeah, I felt like an *** today. I sent my dad an email today asking if he heard that Dio passed away. His response back was "No, I didn't know. I just sent him a card a couple of weeks ago because I knew he was really sick. Thanks for telling me." My Dad and Dio used to be friends, my Dad played in Dio's band when he first got started in Cortland, NY. I figured that my Dad already knew, didn't mean to break that news in an email.

I did the the same thing. A local Philly political legend passed and I called a cop buddy (a family friend of the deceased) and told him before he heard it on the news. I felt like crap afterwords.
