Worlds AIDS Day and it's effect on rock

Today is World AIDs Day, which is basically to raise awareness for getting tested.   So- go get tested.  Normally I would make some tasteless joke right about now, but I actually don't find AIDs very funny at all.  Odd, since I'm pretty comfortable with rape jokes.
Coincidentally enough, Ray Gillen died on Dec. 1st.  He had a short stint in Black Sabbath in the 80s, but if you want to check out the good stuff listen to him singing with Badlands.  (Solid band that featured post-Ozzy Jake E. Lee and pre-KISS Eric Singer)

RIP and Happy Birthday

Today is a big day for useless metal dates!!  First off, RIP to our brotha, Robin Crosby, from Ratt who died in 2002 because he was a fan of heroin.  
On a lighter note (literally, lighter- Crosby weighed over 400 lbs when he croaked), today is the birthday of lots in metal.   Old fart Steve Vai is 49 and Tom Araya is just one year further from death at 48.  Sean Yseult (the token chick in White Zombie) is 42, and Munky from Korn is 38.  Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil seems young at 36.
