A piece of my childhood died today, as Ronnie James Dio passed away from cancer at the age of 67. Whether it was Rainbow or Sabbath or Dio, his passion for metal was second to none, and his passing marks a sad day not only in the metal community, but the world at large. Damn [...]

RIP Vic Chesnutt

Not exactly the kind of news you want to get around Christmastime, but Vic Chesnutt, 45, died on Christmas day after an overdose of muscle relaxants.
