Happy Birthday to the one and only Ronnie James Dio. Ronnie passed away on May 16th of this year. Today he would’ve been 68 years old. Can you believe that? Here’s a guy that was old enough to be our father (and in some cases Grandfather) yet there he was up on the stage melting our faces night after night. Ronnie, you will be missed!
I have been running this blog since 2009. AKA as the Great Southern Brainfart, Southeast of Heaven is my baby now and forever. I’ve had my ups and downs with bands over the years but they are all great experiences and memories. My Swedish friend Charlie said once, “Don is known for being one of the meanest bastards in American rock journalism.” It’s nice to be loved.
I also once took a shit in Anthrax’s dressing room toilet and didn’t flush.
