Ronnie James Dio dies at 67

I saw Alice in Chains last night and they dedicated a song to him, the whole crowd responded by throwing up the horns. Pretty cool sight.

Oh and a cool little side story. I was in the bathroom before the show last night and as I was walking in out of the corner of my eye I saw a couple of guys washing up, both had really long hair and were dressed in black. I thought damn those guys look like some hardcore rockers. So I look over and it's Jerry Cantrell and Mike Inez. I was a total starstruck dork, I wanted to say hello but I couldn't get out a word. LOL

Cool! Must have been a small venue.

Yeah Glens Falls Civic Center. Typically used for AHL hockey games, occassional concerts. Probably seats about 5000 tops.

My favorite sport to go watch, Providence Bruins and Hersey Bears.

We've got the Phantoms right now, affiliate of the Flyers.

And the Albany River Rats too, but they're moving on.

Saw Heaven & Hell the year before last at the Metal Masters Tour with Priest and Motorhead. Dio still had it. He looked like an evil twisted troll. So nothing really changed. Yeah those old metal bands were around long before the 80's hair bands. Most of them were playing in the late 60s.

Bears vs. Phantoms are GREAT games. They truly hate each other and there are nonstop fights when they play. I live near Hershey and have been to some Bears games.

The one game between them, both teams dropped their gloves and started brawling at the first drop of the puck. Goalies too. It was something leftover from their previous matchup.

Game five tonight of the Eastern finals, I love to go.
