The Wisdom of Dio

My childhood was safe and sane. No abuse and no traumas. I was surrounded by a large and loving family who taught me the importance of hard work and a meaningful education.
   Ronnie James Dio

Lyrically I like to use themes that make the listener use his or her imagination, and to give a little of the lessons I've learned in my own life.
   Ronnie James Dio

It's Only Rock n Roll

My big awakening happened when I was fourteen ... and listened to Aerosmith's Rocks. It hit me like a fucking ton of bricks. I sat there listening to it over and over ... I remember ... knowing that my life had changed. Now I identified with something.

That's a wonderful side effect of leather pants: when you pee yourself in them, they're more forgiving than jeans.
