We can argue all day long about who invented heavy metal. But there’s no denying that Black Sabbath largely shaped the genre. Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, Geezer Butler and Ozzy Osbourne banded together to form the legendary quartet in 1968. Four months after releasing their self-titled debut album, the Birmingham, England boys were back in the studio for a follow-up record. Originally written as an afterthought, “Paranoid” became both the title track and the band’s signature song. And 54 years ago today, on Aug. 7, 1970, the world heard it for the first time.

Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Battle jackets, band shirts and heavy metal galore were on full display during Megadeth’s second show at the YouTube Theater. The first concert, taking place on August 9, had marked a special occasion for the band as they played their song “Liar” live for the first time in 18 years. Alas, the setlist this time around did not account for the special track, with the group instead opting to perform “Kick The Chair” which had also been quite a rare addition to the band’s live roster in recent years.

In this week’s installment of Homeless Hotel Diary, broken glass again leads the lineup. Someone smashed a window in the lobby of Fusion Studios, the Colorado Coalition for the homeless property where I live and pay a third of my income for rent. This same person shattered the door to the case manager’s office and threw rocks through the windshield and side windows of the community van. Multiple residents told me who did the damage – the same person allegedly committed all three crimes – and last I knew that person still was at large. I could not get any official reports from Coalition staff. They were not available to speak with me Friday.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

Opinion: Stop Stereotyping Bad Teeth as a Sign of Drug Addiction

Ronnie James Dio, born Ronald James Padavona on July 10, 1942, was a groundbreaking American heavy metal vocalist and songwriter. Known for his powerful voice and theatrical stage presence, Dio gained fame with bands like Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and his own group, Dio. His unique vocal style and dark, fantasy-inspired lyrics earned him a legendary status in rock history. Dio popularized the “devil horns” hand gesture and left an indelible mark on metal music with albums like *Holy Diver* and *The Last in Line*. He passed away on May 16, 2010, but remains an enduring icon in the genre.
