"Whatchu talkin' 'bout Willis?" The phrase made famous by little Arnold Drummond was silenced on Sunday when Gary Coleman, most known for his role on Dif'rent Strokes, slipped into a coma after suffering a head injury that caused bleeding in his brain. Hours later he passed away at age 42.
Okay, nobody's allowed to die for a while...tired of writing sad blogs!!!

It is a sad day in the world of Rock. Legendary front man, vocalist, and yes, the originator of the "metal horns rock symbol" Ronnie James Dio passed away yesterday at 67 years old after losing his battle with stomach cancer. Although physically small in stature, the legacy that Dio leaves behind is indisputably enormous. After fronting outrageously successful bands like Rainbow, and who thought it could be done, replacing Black Sabbath front man Ozzy Osbourne, he branched out on his own and enjoyed continued success as the solo artist Dio. He will undoubtedly be remembered for his amazing vocal talent and unmistakable sound he lent to every syllable that he sang. RIP Ronnie James Dio, your legend will live on forever at Retro Active. ROCK ON!!!
