No album this time - just a shocking fact...


Tenacious D pointed out that Dio had rocked for a long, long time. But much longer than I ever thought.

He was in a series of rockabilly groups in the mid '50s, eventually settling on the name "Ronnie and the Red Caps." He's older than my mom. Heck, he's older than Mick Jagger!

His lyrics may be silly, but Dio doesn't sing like someone who is almost 70. And that kid on the left doesn't look like someone who would write songs about wildebeests and angels.
