I wonder why Geezer Butler let Dio (or Gillan) write any lyrics. Was it
Tony's decision as "leader" of Sabbath? Or would Ronnie's ego not let him
sing for a band without being its lyricist as well?

I wish Ian Gillan had stuck it out with Black Sabbath for a few more albums.
With the lessons learned from Born Again, it would have been interesting to
see where they could've taken the music.
