A Tribute to Ronnie James Dio

August 11, 2010

RJD RIPThe world recently lost the great Ronnie James Dio, a.k.a. Carla Tortelli from Cheers. While his favorite hand gesture was the Hook 'Em Horns warning that was said to ward off the evil eye, his favorite expression was "Look out!" This lyrical warning found its way into many of his songs through the years. We pay tribute to Ronnie James by listing here all of the songs with Ronnie James Dio that contain this favorite expression: "Look out!"...
