The cheer you up in the era of Obama.....a flashback to the 1970s/80's.
Ronnie James Dio - Rainbow In The Dark
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
Heaven and hell was his real showpiece in my opinion. (Geezer Butler really shined here as well).

You bet - absolutely.
I am a Christian, and I don't know his ultimate faith, but boy......could this man SING!
Incredible.
I think only Robert Plant would compare.
Now you got me going down that road too.
Geezer Butler played the best bass ever recorded on that song. Plays it as if it were lead guitar.
I think Obama sees himself as the “man on the silver mountain”
IMHO, The Talking Heads “Road to Nowhere” fits his administration perfectly
His last known vocal track “The Code” from his cousin Dave Feinstein’s band The Rods CD Vengeance.
better yet another great Dio song summing up obama’s feelings towards Americans and the United States:
Last in Line: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5b1q_EUIBc
One of the best voices ever in hard rock/heavy metal. And every performance, it looked like he was just having a blast, he always seemed to have a smile on his face.

Saw his Last in Line concert in a tiny venue. Best concert I have even seen. Couldn’t hear for a week, but man what a show!
My wife and I saw Dio at the Centrum in Worcester, Mass near or on Halloween years ago...unbelievable show.
The show that left me without hearing for a week was George Thorogood inside a bar in Bangor, Maine. After the fifth day, I was beginning to freak.
Dio was one of the best rock singers of all time. I saw him live in Gothenburg in the late 80’s.
However, Only one guy on Earth, namely the legendary Greek Assopopolus, has ever performed a perfect CHILI rainbow in dark settings:

damn, i remember when The Rods and Dio was with ELF were bar bands...
I saw The Who in 82, and that was one of the loudest concerts in history. But the best/worst/loudest I heard was Aerosmith. We were in a small auditorium, right in front if of the left main speaker. It’s no wonder I’m deaf!
All great shows, though. No politics, no security, no worries. Lol
Man, you’re old. Lol
i'll put it this way, i'm over twice as old as i(and a lot of other people) EVER thought i'd get... 8^)
