From the Facebook group Stop the Westboro Baptist Church from picketing Ronnie James Dio’s Memorial:

The Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) — an independent Baptist church and hate group known for its hatred of homosexuals and its protest activities (which include picketing funerals) — WBC is planning on picketing Ronnie James Dio’s public memorial service on Sunday, May 30 at 2:00 p.m. at The Hall Of Liberty located at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, 6300 Forest Lawn Drive, Los Angeles, California. What will presumably one of WBC’s standard “peaceful sidewalk demonstrations” is meant to “remind you who worship that old Serpent, Satan, that your time is very short,” according to a post on the “Upcoming Picket Schedule” page of the web site. The post continues, “You know 67 year old, Satan-worshiping (or at least one of their enablers) Ronnie James Dio (of showing his devil horns to the world each time he goes in public) BLACK SABBATH fame is dead, right? We’ll be there! Just because the chances of any of God’s elect being amongst this group of heavy metal sycophants is slim to none does not mean they should not get some good words.”

The post goes on to say, “Yes, it is true that Ozzy Osbourne did ‘accidentally’ bite off the head of a bat, but THAT is the least of their sins (little nasties!), they currently do not do that, but they throw raw meat to the audience and encourage violence of EVERY FORM!”

The WBC web site then proceeds to list “admitted sins of this now dead and in hell pervert: 1) He hates his neighbor(s) starting with Ozzy Osbourne, and continuing down to his pornography star niece Gen Padova! 2) He hates God. Pay especial attention to the fact that he changed his original sir name from Padova to Dio, which means God in Italian. 3) Ronnie the simpleton enabled, and encouraged Sorceries: everything he was about including the little finger horn thing (he got this from his mother which is an incantation to ward off the ‘evil eye’) to the drugs, bloody raw meat and his fellowship with those pentagon necklace wearing freakish band members.”

The post concludes: “Yes, Ronnie James Padova (NOT DIO) is currently residing in hell. When all those who worship him and his false gods meet him in hell it will be just like this: Isaiah 2:12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: Isaiah 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. Praise God all ye, His people. The Great Day of the Lord draws nigh. AMEN!”

According to CNN.com, the members of the Topeka, Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church filed a legal brief with the high court last year indicating that they “believe it is their duty to protest and picket at certain events, including funerals, to promote their religious message: ‘That God’s promise of love and heaven for those who obey him in this life is counterbalanced by God’s wrath and hell for those who do not obey him.’”

The congregation is made up mostly of pastor Fred Phelps and his family. The pastor has 13 children, and at least 54 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. He described himself as an “old-time” gospel preacher in a CNN interview in 2006, saying, “You can’t preach the Bible without preaching the hatred of God.”

Public Image Limited was at the 9:30 Club in Washington D.C. on My 12, 2010. It was webcasted by NPR Music and a nifty little article was written about the band. Take it for what it’s worth. It seems to be written by someone without a fucking clue (as usual), leaving out a few facts that they tried to touch on and some misconstrued facts.

I caught them last night at The Borgata’s The Music Box in Atlantic City. KILLER SHOW!

                          

From Fox News’ Red Eye show on 04/09/2010. John talks about the death of Malcolm McLaren and the Public Image Limited reunion & North American tour.

                          

I’m not going to say stupid shit like some other blogger did as to why John Lydon from Public Image Limited didn’t get the chance to do his interview with Jimmy Kimmel during the regular airing of the show on 04/07/2010. (To the blogger: Where did you pull that excuse from? Lydon was on Jimmy Kimmel already being interviewed on stage during the show’s normal airing with the Sex Pistols.) So they talked after the band performed (2 clips below the 2 songs)

“Rise”

“This Is Not A Love Song”

Here are 2 clips from the interview:

                          

I caught this video last week. Not bad. Carl Sagan used to rock. Melody Sheep on YouTube created his own musical tribute to two great men of modern science: Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking. The video is called “Carl Sagan – ‘A Glorious Dawn’ featuring Stephen Hawking (Cosmos Remixed)”. Melody Sheep says that almost all samples and footage were taken from Carl Sagan’s Cosmos and Stephen Hawking’s Universe series. I think it’s quite catchy.

You can also download the video, audio, and the ringtone for the song from Melody Sheep’s web site.
