Equal Opportunity Hate
Kansas Baptist church hate mongers pretending to be good church folk plan to picket Ronnie James Dio's weekend memorial service in Los Angeles.
In "Love Crusades" - or demonstrations they call peaceful - the same group of family members picket funerals of AIDS victims and fallen soldiers. In fact, they're so full of hate, their schedule includes synagogues (because God hate Jews too apparently), churches whose pastor's wives appear to have their own identities and schools who support gay rights.
There is little we can agree on. Though I'm willing to bet that this God they speak on behalf of is much more loving and forgiving than they are.
The zealots are coming to Boston!
According to their detailed site (someone is funding this bullshit?) they will appear at:
June 6, 9:15-10am Grace Chapel, 59 Worthen Rd, Lexingonton, MA - warning us against false prophets and to tell us God will curse us.
June 6, 10:45am-11:30am: Cathedral of the Holy Cross, 1400 Washington St, Boston - to tell us God promised he would curse us if we don't obey. Our badness forced him to send pedophile priests to rape our children.
June 6, 5p-6p - Sheraton Hotel, 39 Dalton St, Boston - to tell us that God hates Jews.
June 7, 7:15am-7:45am: Boston Latin, 78 Avenue Louis Pasteur - to remind us that God is cursing America (they won't use a capital A) because we teach our children that God loves everyone and it's okay to be gay.
Some topics get more of their time evidently.
Look, Ma, everybody hates
me! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westboro_Baptist_Church

Metal Horns in Heaven
Yesterday we lost Ronnie James Dio. It's truly the day the metal died.
His name is synonymous with metal, majesty and mysticism. RJD will be remembered for his style, his power, his god-like stature in metal music. Despite his physically small size, he stood 5' 4", he was a monster of rock, rivaling only Ozzy Osbourne and perhaps Rob Halford within the metal music community.
When I found out he was sick late last fall, I never considered him not beating it. He was Dio after all! By the time many of us knew the seriousness of his condition he was gone.
His career was breathed life to a whole new generation of metal fans in when Jack Black and Tenacious D payed homage to him in "Dio" - a song on their first studio record "Tenacious D" released in 2001. Ronnie appeared as himself in the D's movie, "Pick of Destiny" released in 2006.
God speed, Ronnie. I will love you always.
