This week, Boss Rush Mode finds the courage to cross the rainbow bridge to pay tribute to one of the greatest heavy metal singers of all time, Ronnie James Dio! Starting with his early work with Ronnie and the Red Caps, we discuss his time with bands like Elf, Rainbow, the legendary BLACK SABBATH and on to his expansive solo career. Ronnie James had a remarkable career spanning more than half a century!

Later on, we'll ask you to STAND UP AND SHOUT your favorite all time song to feature Dio on vocals. And 8Bit Alchemy will present a very dragonish edition of UNCOMFORTABLE NATURE FACTS!
