There is an interesting thing going on with Dio, and he has not given us the full story yet.
These days...he comes across as a heavy duty jew, but, I imagine not long ago, he was a totally different type of person.
He once posted a pic of himself, when he looked like a punk rock type guy, with a mohawk. He's also told stories about him "Surfing" of all things.
I'm pretty sure, he used to be a regular dude...not that long ago. His shift sort of reminds me of when I was heavy into Buddhism in my early 20s, and I wanted to "shave my head", which is a Buddhist thing to say, for when a guy wants to become a monk.
