#GEMsofWisdom Day 19 is proving my theory that there is a smooth side and rough side on this blade. I had another awesome shave with the smooth side this morning so I'm going to ride this as long as I can.

#Sidetracked I'm not a fan of Ozzy Osbourne and I was never a fan of Black Sabbath with Ozzy Osbourne on the mic. But I have had a soft spot in my heart for Ronnie James Dio since I heard Holy Diver when I was 13 or so. As I got older and learned that Dio fronted two Black Sabbath albums, I knew I had to check those out. And lo and behold, I became a fan of the two Black Sabbath albums that featured Dio, Heaven & Hell and Mob Rules. Now these are two stellar albums with a frontman who can actually sing. It's too bad this iteration of the band could only keep it together for two albums, but then again those two albums did a fine job propelling Dio's solo career. So u/Teufelskraft and the gang on this Friday, I give you my favorite Dio-fronted Black Sabbath song that makes me crank the hifi to volume 11 every time - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pXLQF7Tdkc

Have a great day all!
