Dion DiMucci

Dion Francis DiMucci (born July 18, 1939), better known mononymously as Dion, is an American singer-songwriter whose work has incorporated elements of doo-wop, rock and R&B styles—and, most recently, straight blues. He was one of the most popular American rock and roll performers of the pre-British Invasion era. He had more than a dozen Top 40 hits in the late 1950s and early 60s. He is best remembered for the 1961 singles, "Runaround Sue" and "The Wanderer", written with Ernie Maresca.

Dion's popularity waned in the mid-1960s, perhaps due to the public's changing taste in pop music, and perhaps in part due to personal difficulties he had during this period. But toward the end of the decade, he shifted his style and produced songs with a more mature, contemplative feeling, such as "Abraham, Martin and John". He became popular again in the late 1960s and into the mid-1970s, and he has continued making music ever since. Critics who had dismissed his early work, pegging him as merely a teen idol, praised his later work, and noted the influence he has had on other musicians.

Dion, Pieria

Dion or Dio (Ancient Greek: Δίον, Greek: Δίο, Latin: Dium) is a village located at the foot of Mount Olympus and in the municipality of Dio-Olympos.

It is best known for its ancient Macedonian sanctuary of Zeus and city, visible in the archaeological park and the Archaeological Museum of Dion.

History

The ancient city owes its name to the most important Macedonian sanctuary dedicated to Zeus (Dios, "of Zeus"), leader of the gods who dwelt on Mount Olympus; as recorded by Hesiod's Catalogue of Women, Thyia, daughter of Deucalion, bore Zeus two sons, Magnes and Makednos, eponym of Macedonians, who dwelt in Pieria at the foot of Mount Olympus. Hence from very ancient times, a large altar had been set up for the worship of Olympian Zeus and his daughters, the Muses, in a unique environment characterised by rich vegetation, towering trees, countless springs and a navigable river. For this reason Dion was the "sacred place" of the Ancient Macedonians. It was the place where the kings made splendid sacrifices to celebrate the new year of the Macedonian calendar at the end of September. In the Spring, purification rites of the army and victory feasts were held.

Crust (album)

Crust is the third full-length studio album by the Italian progressive death metal band Sadist, released in 1997 by Displeased Records. It was the first album to features lead singer Trevor and drummer Oinos, and was the band's first self-produced album. It features two Japanese bonus tracks which are cover songs; "Take on Me" after A-Ha and "Relax" from Frankie Goes to Hollywood. A music video was made for the song "'Fools' and Dolts".

Holy @$%*! (TV series)

Holy @#%*! was an extreme sports viral video reality television series which aired on Versus in the United States from 2009 to 2011. 13 episodes exist and aired on the channel until the spring of 2011, when it was removed from airing due to Versus coming into the purview of NBC Sports after Versus's owner Comcast was approved to take over NBCUniversal, and NBC Sports found low-brow clip programs like Holy @$%*! and Whacked Out Sports were inappropriate for what it saw as a serious contender against ESPN when it was re-branded as the NBC Sports Network in January 2012.

The program was purposefully titled so that the second word was bleeped when said on-air.
