Dio is dead
« on: May 17, 2010, 12:56:11 pm »
The maker of Holy Diver, supposed creator of the devil horns sign, Ronnie James Dio; is dead. Killed by stomach cancer.

Edit:  I really can't think of anything else to say.  That's a really big bummer.

It might just be me, but it seems that famous (non-celebrities, the ones who did stuff for their fame) people seem to be dying off a LOT. I think it might be conspiracy theory time.

The famous people you remember were young adults or older when you were a teenager. Now they're aging into a higher-risk age demographic. It's like noticing that your grandparents' siblings are all dying off at the same time, or that we don't have many WW2 veterans anymore.

Rob Halford is still alive.  Metal's fine.

Anyway, I made a "He went down too long in the midnight sea and drowned" joke last night.  Was I already too late for that to be topical?  He tried to ride the tiger and got mauled.  He could feel its heart but apparently it was mean.

More to the point, Keith Richards still isn't dead. Or at least, his body keeps moving. That's more fodder for a conspiracy theory, if you ask me.

Unfortunately the real reason is that "Dead celebrities are in this year"

They die all the time.

Yeah when we get a string of "death by turtle" celebrities, all on the 12th of the month, we can start a conspiracy theory.
