178: DIO ERA SABBATH

“So I told him about my pain and the life I’ve been through, he just smiled and the laughter came

Then I told him that I love you…and the devil cried.”

The early 80’s saw a changing of the guard in BLACK SABBATH, with vocalist RONNIE JAMES DIO becoming the new “captain at the helm” as the front man for the legendary Birmingham quartet and bringing along with him a heroic dose of wizards, dragons, clean tigers, shiny diamonds, and more mystical lyrical metaphors than you can shake a sorcerer’s scepter at.

Get ready to expand your thumbtack and yarn collection regarding absurdly intentioned speed trap conspiracies found near Bunkerpoon Industrial Boulevard, maybe crack open an ice cold Moo-Hoo (or two) & enjoy the delicious flavor of victory that could only be brewed in a city that’s home to the National Champions, prepare to get surly, “speed up the brown”, and JOIN US as we wax nostalgic and look back on the 2nd wave of Black Sabbath that is known throughout the realm as DIO ERA SABBATH.
