Rock Minutes

The church, or hate group, known for picketing the funerals of deceased homosexuals and military men and women; the Westboro Baptist Church, plans on attending the funeral of Ronnie James Dio. All I want to know is what did Dio ever do to you? Besides writing songs about slaying demons and riding tigers. I figured the “fag haters” would be OK with this. Oh, and by the way their website is godhatesfags.com, hence my use of the word. I’ve attached the pamphlet they are distributing as well as a link to the article on NME.com.
