Retro Video of the Week: "Neon Knights" by Black Sabbath

It's been a rough evening in Hoosierland, with the news of Bob Knight's death.  Whether you loved him or hated him -- and I don't know there's many people who fall in between -- he was unquestionably one of the greatest basketball minds and coaches to ever walk the planet.  I was fortunate enough that my four years as an undergrad at IU were Knight's last four years as IU's coach.  I was on campus with the protesters when he was fired, watching Myles Brand's effigy rightfully burn in front of Brand's house in the middle of our picturesque campus.  For his many faults -- and there were many -- he cared deeply about his players and did a lot of genuinely kind things for a lot of people that he didn't want publicized.  It's a sad day for college basketball and the extended IU basketball family.

I was trying to think of a song for this week's Retro Video of the Week with "knight" or "general" in the title.  I remembered one of my favorite post-Ozzy Black Sabbath songs, "Neon Knights," off of the band's 1980 Heaven and Hell album, which was the first album after Ozzy left the band and the first album to feature Ronnie James Dio on lead vocals.  The song is a frenetic metal song with a great guitar riff, signaling that, even if Ozzy was gone, the rock would still go on.  So crank it loud and throw some chairs if you got 'em.
