ronnie's only 5'4", not much of a metal god at that size. i'm only 5'7", i should know. i recently saw an interview with him on some heavy metal documentary that came out not too long ao. it was pretty sad, he collects ceramic frog statues and swords. he's just an uber-geek grandpa...
he was raised in cortland ny, not far from ithaca, and they even have a road named after him there. an older friend of mine saw one of his first bands, Elf, play in ithaca in the early 70's. and my sister in law has a Dio For President sticker on her car.
