Yeah Ronnie was proof that loud things come in small packages. Incredibly powerful pipes. The rough and tumble world of Rock and Roll always seems to get dirt on your hands yet Ronnie seemed to always be a bit above that.

For some reason I have always grinned whenever I think about the album cover for Last In Line which featured a Hobo pushing a shopping cart in Hades. That always appealed to my whacked sense of humor.

You're stirring up a hornet's nest there.
