Metal legend Ronnie James Dio dead at 67

I cried a little when I heard this. Dio was a rock God. And now he is rocking in Heaven, if he is right about religion that is. Still He gave us some of the best rock songs ever in Holy Diver, Rainbow in the Dark, and The Mob Rules (While he was part of Black Sabbath).

You will be missed
 
Not sure if this has already been posted elsewhere, but I might as well post it here:

Westboro Baptist Church has claimed that it is planning to picket the public memorial of Ronnie James Dio, who died this month from stomach cancer.

The infamous church from Kansas, who have a history of well-documented hatred towards homosexuals, are planning to protest at the memorial in Hollywood on May 30, citing that the singer is a "Satan worshipper."

In a statement released on Thursday, May 20, the church said the ex-Rainbow/Black Sabbath singer used his status and platform to "teach rebellion against God, in the form of glorying atheism, promoting the devil hand sign and other such idolatries."

The statement also read, "The arrogant God-hating fool changed his name from Padavona to Dio (meaning "God" in Italian). His Black Sabbath fans worshipped him as a god. He stood idly by & watched his niece, Gen Padavona, become a filthy porn star. God's promises are true, including his promise to punish the wicked forever."

As previously reported on Spinner, the public memorial for Dio, who was 67, will take place on May 30 at The Hall of Liberty on Forest Lawn Drive in Los Angeles.
