If a scooter had hands to make devil horns with, this would be it. Who knows how it got the name. Perhaps when Honda's engineers realized they had developed a scooter that could top an apocalyptic 42 miles PER HOUR, a two wheeled demon cast in molten silver and teal, they knew it could only be named....THE DIO.

So, I am at a wedding on Saturday. Wendy, my fiance, is shooting the photos and I went to help. The ceremony is going and it is actually really nice. I am standing in the area between the entrance doors and the doors to the sanctuary. About two thirds of the way through a cell phone rings in the coat area. Holy Diver blasts out.

Britain's Classic Rock magazine is reporting that Ronnie James Dio (Dio, Black Sabbath, Heaven And Hell, Rainbow, Elf) is hard at work on his autobiography.Dio told the magazine that the book would "not be centered around myself so much as me telling my life story through the stories of those around me.""Every time I feel I’m getting halfway there, another halfway comes along, but yes, I’m wri
