Hey, i dont know if this has been said already, but its kinda funny. I read that ozzys midget was called ronnie, so i thought, maybe he named him after Dio, who i believe ozzy doesnt have a good realationship with and isnt that tall either. Sounds kinda lame, but it could be...

hmmm very true....wonder if that was a nickname or a twist of irony.

Nickname.

Real name: John Allen, methinks.

"Ronnie" would come out and serve Ozzy drinks and hand him a towel (during Crazy Train I think) and Ozzy would say thinks like: Say Hi to Ronnie, he lives in a little hole (referring to that "Ronnie" would come out from the stairs beneath the drum riser). Ronnie would be hung during Goodbye to Romance, a song about Ozzy leaving Sabbath.

Another good story is that the guitarist of UFO Paul Chapman once on the DOAM tour dropped the pissed "Ronnie" in the snow and almost didn't find him!! :twisted:

OH... and by the way John "Ronnie" Allen was also in the Star Wars Movie!

I heard Randy would sometimes run around poking Ronnie with his headstock.

Actually that is a myth! he never appeared in any of those films to my knowledge. He was going to do something in ROTJ, but I think nothing came of it.
