This video is so nice and I really love to watch it.
I love every single word Ronnie says is great and treasure to me.

It's so interesting over all, but I want to know about the song "Rock'n roll".
I had known that this song was written about 911 tragedy.
But I can't understand fully what he meant with my poor english avility.
Please explain what it means for flws phrase:

Hey, send your heroes of to war
But whisper in their ear
Never cross the song police
They can tell you what you're gonna hear - again

whisper in their ear = rock'n roll ???
never cross the song police = what does it mean??
Rock'n roll never go through to war site ??

I love this song, and I feel that he tried to express his emotional thought in the way of not polytical expression.

Please someone help me to understand.

Holy magica,

Thank you for letting me know the site.
I understand that many songs were banned of political reasons.

whispers in their ear never cross song police
They can tell what you're going to hear...

I'm not quite sure what Ronnie wanted to say.
Oooo, so sad. I need more energy and efforts to understand his words, I really want to know everything about him though.

The song police can be many things....but really its about music censorship by the media, the powers within the BBC had there list of banned songs as well through the years for lots of different reasons.These songs would not be played on their 100s of BBC radio stations.

I search high and low for interviews of Dio that I haven't seen.

This one was great.

Thank you for posting.

I finally got to watch all of this last night! I was laughing so hard, especially "pull the string!"
