    Pop quiz, hotshot. There's a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do?

    I loved him in Speed aka The Bus.

    I was hoping this was a joke thread, but it isn't.

    I thought that too. Then someone mentioned Ronnie James Dio. Maybe Dennis Hopper is the third one.
    I've never heard of him though.. I know he's relatively famous, but I bet more people than not wouldn't know who he is. I think the name has to be a modern day, pop culture staple to count.
    You've never heard of Dio??? Really?!?!!??

    Seriously - you don't consider the horns people put up at rock shows as a staple of pop culture?

    First the Hawks, now this? C'mon, man!

    Nah man you can kill him, you can't kill him cause he ain't in nature, he is nature, he's not even here man he's gone he's outta here he's in the beyond & he ain't coming back



    R.I.P. Dennis


    Btw- How can anyone be a fan of rock music and not know who ronnie james dio is. That's just a bit odd.

    I will always remember him as the bad dude in Speed.
    He was such a bad guy in that movie.
    RIP

    Where would I have heard of him? MTV???

    I never liked Black Sabbath, or Ozzie. Not my style. It's like asking me if I like Bon Jovi or something.
