Rather get screwed by you

Wendy Dio was a guest on The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan podcast (and Billy is a huge fan of Deep Purple, Rainbow, and Dio himself). Here is their long and interesting conversation.

In this powerful and emotional conversation, Wendy Dio joins Billy Corgan to share the brilliance of her late husband, Ronnie James Dio — from their first meeting at the Rainbow to the creation of Blackmore’s Rainbow, following Ozzy in Black Sabbath, and his breakthrough with his own band, Dio. Wendy reveals how Ronnie stayed true to his vision, refusing to chase hits, and how his humility, brilliance, and devotion to fans made him a legend. She and Billy discuss the origins of the devil horns, the making of “Holy Diver” and “Rainbow in the Dark,” and the enduring legacy Wendy continues through the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund.

Thanks to BraveWords, Uwe, and CN for the heads-up.
