Anon 11:57-- it's more than that. There is a proud metal tradition of having small singers: Meine, Udo, Danzig... Dio was among the best of the micro-metalists.
Observations from an old cranky jerk who happens to be a professional philosopher. Occasionally philosophical, most often just vulgar. Sometimes focused on sober points of logic and issues in political theory, but more frequently fixed on nonsense. Bad metal bands, crappy guitarists, stupid lyrics, celebrities, pop "culture," telemarketers, irrationality, and other annoyances. Always misanthropic. Anti-religious. Not particularly amusing, either. Some might say insulting. Strange mail. Kook magnet. Doom. Comments from other cranky jerks, young and old.

He was a "a diabolical rock ’n’ roll alchemist!" The first sentence below says it all..

"There is a proud metal tradition of having small singers: Meine, Udo, Danzig... Dio"
But only Dio called his band Elf. Can you imagine Glenn Danzig calling his band Elf?
Plus, don't leave out Bon Scott and Brian Johnson, as well as Eric Bloom (althogh in AC/DC and BOC everyone was/is miniature...)
Sad day indeed. Lock up the wolves.
