It was 25 years ago today......

March 18, 2007 - Sunday 
That Randy Rhoads played his last show @ The Civic Coliseum in Knoxville, Tennessee....the next morning he would be dead. I remember I was staying with my sister at the time and she woke me up about noon and said that "Ozzy Osbourne was killed in a plane crash" and I said "Yeah....and last week The Go-Go's was in a car crash" (which was a popular rumor of the day) but unfortunetly it was Randy that was killed. I was so stunned by this that for years I forgot that UFO was the opening act!
I got the ticket signed by Ozzy in Dayton in 1992....
