I was too busy grieving for this man and having relationship issues to even notice that someone had made this thread before I could get around to it, thank you subrob.
[:(][&:][:o]
I saw this man in concert four times, just like ElectraGlide did, and have been listening to him since about 1981 or so (I have an old GF from back home in CA who used to work publicity for bands out of LA, and because of her, at two of these events, I went backstage. Those were the days..). His lyrics and energy contributed profoundly to My personal evolution. He would admonish us for our grief, I bet. Death is part of life, of course. Nothing is ever lost; it only returns to the source, and in this case, death was a mercy (stomach cancer is a double-plus sonuvabitch. What upsets Me is that I had no idea he was even ill; all I ever heard about is this tour or that album release that was coming up. No more.).
Over at the DIO page at Facebook and on My own profile there, I left My gratitude and this piece of My heart for all to see. Facebook folk, please be invited as per the instruction by Ms. Wendy (his wife and manager) to come there and share your thoughts, also.
**To RJD: semper vive, and thank you for everything. 93/93 Blessed Be.**
