There was quite a bit rivalry there as we always were quick to admit Sab's
influence on us and Ozzy seemed to take it as a compliment. However, Dio
(AKA Ronny James Dio) was from upstate (remember Ronnie Dio and the
Prophets or Elf?) and always had a little rivalry with all upstate bands
several of which BOC members were in. Silly now in retrospect.
