You're too old to rock, no more rockin' for you.
We're takin' you to a home,
But we will sing a song about you."
Now THATS corny, like psych ward or retirement home isnt!
Well ... actually I hope he still has at least the upcoming Heaven &
Hell album in him! :) It took a _long_ time for Dio to grow on me,
but I've come to appreciate his contribution in the right setting --
which seems to be in the company of a riff-monging genius like
Blackmore or Iommi who can provide sufficient foundational musical
glory to carry Dio's outrageous word-smithing. Wilderbeasts and
angels not withstanding ....
Cheers,
Carl

I always liked Dio better than Ozzy. I really like Born Again w/Gillan.
