Another seat at the Table of the Gods...

Intended blog post slightly sidelined for a moment of silence for Ronnie James Dio who died yesterday. As time moves on, more and more people who play a small part in making us all what we are get taken from us. Sad.

I interviewed Ronnie once - I'd just come off a run of interviews all over the country and this was the last one of the week. Even though I was less than keen at first - RJD not being one of my personal all time greats - he soon had me wrapped around his finger and we talked until he absolutely could talk no longer because he was due on stage. Only half of it was usable as interview material as the other half was taken up devouring his other love in life - boxing! He was funny, patient, honest and dedicated to his family and profession. That's a good impression to leave a stranger with.

A true legend. Not a pretend legend... a real one. The world will be a different place without you.
